The Yellow Rose Of Texas-Artists: Mitch Miller and the Gang-the # 17 song of the 1955-1959 rock era-was # 1 for 6 weeks in 1955-traditional folk song adapted by Don GeorgeThere's a yellow rose in Texas that I am gonna seeNobody else could miss her, not half as much as meShe cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heartAnd if I ever find her we never more will partCHORUSShe's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knewHer eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dewYou may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa LeeBut the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me.Where the *Rio* Grande is flowin', and starry skies are brightShe walks along the river in the quiet summer nightI know that she remembers when we parted long agoI promised to return and not to leave her soCHORUSOh, now I'm gonna find her, for my heart is full of woeWe'll do the things together we did so long agoWe'll play the banjo gaily, she'll love me like beforeAnd the Yellow Rose of Texas shall be mine forevermoreCHORUS*Rio* is pronounced "RYE-oh"Transcribed by Ronald E.
