[G] [C] [G]
There's a yellow rose in Texas that I'm gonna see
[D] No other soldier knows her, no soldier, only me
[G] She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart
[Em] And if I [G] ever find her, we never more will part
She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew
Her eyes are [D] bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew
[G] You may talk about your dearest maid and sang of Rosalie
But the yellow [D] rose of Texas beats the bells of Tennessee
[G] Where the Rio Grande is flowing and the starry skies are bright
[D] She walks along the river in the quiet summer night
[G] She thinks if I remember when we parted long ago
I promised to come back again and not to leave her so
She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew
Her eyes are [D] bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew
[G] You may talk about your dearest maid and sang of Rosalie
But the yellow rose of Texas beats the bells of Tennessee
Oh,
[D] [G]
my feet are torn and bloody and my heart is full of [D] woe
I'm going back to Georgia to find my Uncle Joe
[G] You may talk about your Beauregard and sang of Bobbie Lee
But the gallant hood of Texas, he played hell in Tennessee
She's the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew
[D] Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew
[G] You may talk about your dearest maid and sang of Rosalie
But the yellow rose of Texas beats the bells of Tennessee
