6     6  5  6   6    6 -6 6   
There's a yellow rose in Texas  

6  6  5 6    7  -8   8
I am going there to see.

6   6 8   8 8    8   -8  
No other fella knows her,

no other one but me.

She cried so when I left her 

6  5   6    7   -8   8
I knew it broke her heart,

And if we ever meet again,

we never more will part.

Verse 2

She's the sweetest rose of color a fella ever knew.
Her eyes re bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
You may talk about your dearest maids and sing of Rosa Lee,
But the yellow rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.
******************************

Note:  One story is that this "Rose" was in real life a 
lady of the evening who was hired to "engage" Santa Anna just
before the Mexican troops were to storm the Alamo.  It was hoped 
that her "wiles" would delay the attack long enough for the 
defenders of the church/fortress to be better prepared, or
be reinforced.  Evidently, it didn't work.  
No attempt was made
to authenticate the story.
 
There are several versions of the lyrics 
with slight differences
in the melody line.
