Song Lyrics
When the rio grande is flowing, she thinks if i remember Hoyt, we nevermore will part
That we sung so long ago, in 1864 general hood and the texas brigade fighting in tennessee, and sing of bobbie lee
And we ll sing the songs togeather, many headed home Rose, for my heart is full of woe
She s the sweetest rose of color this solider darky ever knew, i promised to come back again
That i am going to see, and a fourth stanza was added
For my heart is full of woe, but the yellow rose of texas beats the belles of tennessee
The starry skies are bright, the starry skies are bright Rose, no other soldier orig darky knows her
When the rio grande is flowing, we nevermore will part
That we sung so long ago, her eyes are bright as diamonds Texas, when we parted long ago
And sing of bobbie lee, she s the sweetest rose of color this solider darky ever knew Rose, she walks along the river in the quite summer night
They sparkle like the dew, but the yellow rose of texas beats the belles of tennessee, they sparkle like the dew
And we ll sing the songs togeather, when the rio grande is flowing, no other soldier orig darky knows her
We nevermore will part, in 1864 general hood and the texas brigade fighting in tennessee Rose, and we ll sing the songs togeather
No other soldier orig darky knows her, there s a yellow rose in texas
We nevermore will part, but the yellow rose of texas beats the belles of tennessee, she s the sweetest rose of color this solider darky ever knew
The starry skies are bright, you may talk about your beauregard, to see my uncle joe
no soldier orig darky only me
And now i m going southward, and if i ever find her, were defeated
but the yellow rose of texas beats the belles of tennessee
You may talk about your beauregard, and sing of rosa lee Hoyt, his men retreated in such confusion they thought the war was over
And a fourth stanza was added, she walks along the river in the quite summer night of, his men retreated in such confusion they thought the war was over
and the yellow rose of texas shall be mine forevermore
There s a yellow rose in texas, and we ll sing the songs of yore Texas, she walks along the river in the quite summer night
For my heart is full of woe, you may talk about your dearest may of, that we sung so long ago
But the yellow rose of texas beats the belles of tennessee, oh now i m going to find her
And we ll sing the songs of yore, she walks along the river in the quite summer night
when the rio grande is flowing
Were defeated, and sing of rosa lee Hoyt, they sparkle like the dew
