The Yellow Rose of Texas - 吴尐少
There's a yellow rose in Texas
That I am going that to see
No other darkey knows her
No darkey only me
She cried so when I left her
It like to broke her heart
And if we ever meet again
We never more will part
She's the sweetest rose of color
This darkey ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your Dearest May
And sing of Rosa Lee
But the yellow rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee
When the Rio Grande is flowing
And the starry skies are bright
We walks along the river
On the quiet summer night
She said if you remember
When we parted long ago
I promis'd to come back again
And not to leave her so
She's the sweetest rose of color
This darkey ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your Dearest May
And sing of Rosa Lee
But the yellow rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee
Oh now I'm going to find her
For my heart is full of woe
We'll sing the song together
We sung so long ago
We'll play the banjo gaily
And sing the songs of your
And the yellow rose of Texas shall be mine for evermore
She's the sweetest rose of color
This darkey ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your Dearest May
And sing of Rosa Lee
But the yellow rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee
