[Verse 1]
G G
There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am going to see,
D D
no other cowboy knows her, nobody, only me.
G G
She cried so when I left her, it liked to broke her heart
C** G** D** G**
and if we ever meet again we never more should part.
[Chorus]
G G
She's the sweetest rose of color this cowboy ever knew,
D D
her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
G G** G7**
You may talk about your dearest May and sing of Rosa Lee,
C** G** D** G**
but the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the bells of Tennessee.

[Verse 2]
G G
When the Rio Grande is flowing and the stars are shining bright
D D
we walked along together on a quiet summer night.
G G** G7**
She said: if you remember when we parted long ago
C** G** D** G**
you promised to come back again and never leave me so.
[Chorus]
G G
She's the sweetest rose of color this cowboy ever knew,
D D
her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
G G** G7**
You may talk about your dearest May and sing of Rosa Lee,
C** G** D** G**
but the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the bells of Tennessee.

[Verse 3]
G G
I'm going back to see you, my hearth is full of woe,
D D
we'll sing the songs together we sang so long ago.
G G** G7**
We'll play my banjo gaily and sing the songs of yore
C** G** D** G**
and the yellow rose of Texas will be mine forevermore.
[End-Chorus]
G G
She's the sweetest rose of color this cowboy ever knew,
D D
her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
G G** G7**
You may talk about your dearest May and sing of Rosa Lee,
C** G** D** G**
but the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the bells of Tennessee.
