作曲 : Traditional/J.K.
There's a yellow rose in Texas
That I'm going to see
No other soldiers know her
No soldiers, only 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
She's the sweetest girl of color
The soldier ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your Dearest Mae
And sing of Rosa Lee
But the yellow Rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee
Where the Rio Grande is flowing
And the starry skies are bright
Oh, she walks along the river
In the quiet summer night
And 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 girl of color
The soldier ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your Dearest Mae
And sing of Rosa Lee
But the yellow Rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee
Well now I'm heading southward
And my heart is sinking low
I'm going back to Georgia
To find my uncle Joe
You may talk about your Beauregard
And speak of Bobby Lee
But the gallant Hood of Texas plays hell in Tennessee
She's the sweetest girl of color
The soldier ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your Dearest Mae
And sing of Rosa Lee
But the yellow Rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee
Oh, I'm going now to find her
For my heart is full of woe
And we'll sing the songs together
That we sang so long ago
We'll play the banjo gaily
And we'll sing our sorrows o'er
And the yellow Rose of Texas
shall be mine forever more
She's the sweetest girl of color
The soldier ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your Dearest Mae
And sing of Rosa Lee
But the yellow Rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee
But the yellow Rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee
