#1. 
G There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am gonna see,
D nobody else could miss her, not half as much as me.
G She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart.
DCDGDG And if I ever find her, we never more will part.
 CHORUS: 
G She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew.
D Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
G You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee..
DGDG But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me.
 #2. 
G Where the Rio Grande is flowin, and starry skies are bright.
D She walks along the river in the quiet summer night.
G I know that she remembers, when we parted long ago..
DCDGDG I promised to return, and not to leave her so.
 CHORUS: 
G She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew.
D Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
G You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee..
DGDG But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me.
 #3. 
G# Oh, now I'm gonna find her, for my heart is full of woe.
