Yellow Song Lyrics

The Yellow Rose Of Texas

Sung by Mitch Miller and the Gang and adapted from a traditional folk song by Don George

Come on... let's hear you all singing along to another great song with lyrics that have been inspired by colour! Did you know that this song was at number 1 for 6 weeks in 1955? Well, you do now!

There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am gonna 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 never more will part

CHORUS

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 Rosa Lee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me

Where the *Rio* Grande is flowin', and 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 promised to return and not to leave her so

CHORUS

Oh, now I'm gonna find her, for my heart is full of woe
We'll do the things together we did so long ago
We'll play the banjo gaily, she'll love me like before
And the Yellow Rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore

CHORUS

*Rio* is pronounced "RYE-oh"
