Mitch Miller 1955

There's a yellow rose in Texas, that I am going to see,
Nobody else could miss her, not half as much as me.
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart,
And if I ever find her, we nevermore will part.

She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee,
But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.

When the Rio Grande is flowing, the starry skies are bright,
She walks along the river in the quiet summer night:
I know that she remembers, when we parted long ago,
I promise to return again, and not to leave her so.

She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee,
But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.

Oh now I'm going to find her, for my heart is full of woe,
And we'll sing the songs together, that we sung so long ago
We'll play the bango gaily, and we'll sing the songs of yore,
And the yellow rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore.

She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee,
But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.

Oh the yellow rose of texas is the only girl I love
Her eyes are even bluer than texas skies above
Her heart’s as big as texas and wherever I may go
I’ll remember her forever because I love her so

There are so many roses that bloom along the way
But my heart’s in amarillo and that’s where it will stay
With the yellow rose of texas so I’d better get there fast
’cause I know I was her first love and I want to be her last

Oh the yellow rose of texas is the only girl I love
Her eyes are even bluer than texas skies above
Her heart’s as big as texas and wherever I may go
I’ll remember her forever because I love her so

The eyes of texas are upon you all the live long day
The eyes of texas are upon you, you cannot get away
Do not think you can escape them at night or early in the morn
The eyes of texas are upon you ’till gabriel blows his horn

The eyes of texas are upon you all the live long day
The eyes of texas are upon you, you cannot get away
Do not think you can escape them at night or early in the morn
The eyes of texas are upon you ’till gabriel blows his horn

The eyes of texas are upon you all the live long day
The eyes of texas are upon you, you cannot get away
Do not think you can escape them at night or early in the morn
The eyes of texas are upon you ’till gabriel blows his horn



Johnny Lee

There's a yellow rose in Texas
I'm going home to see
Though other men have held her
Her heart belongs to me.

You've traveled down some dusty roads
And slept out in the rain
But this yellow rose is always here
when you come home again

She knows I've done some hard time
You've stumbled and you fell
I just kept your pride from dying
You saved my soul from hell

She's a diamond of the desert
She's a golden flower of spring
She's the yellow rose in Texas
She can make a man a king

There's a yellow rose in Texas
She knows the dues I've paid
And I'm going home to tell her
I wish I nevered strayed

You couldn't see beyond yourself
Your pain and wounded pride
But now you know the truth is
in the way you feel inside

She knows I've done some hard time
You've stumbled and you fell
I just kept your pride from dying
You saved my soul from hell

She's a diamond of the desert
She's a golden flower of spring
She's the yellow rose in Texas
She can make a man a king

Yes the yellow rose of Texas
Can make a man a king.
