G she cried so when i left her , it like to broke my heart , D7 G D D7 G and if i ever find her , we never more will part . G she’s the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew . D D7 her eyes are bright as diamonds , they sparkle like the dew . G you may talk about your winsome maids and sing of rosalie , D7 G D D7 G but the yellow rose of texas beats the belles of tennessee . G where the rio grande is flowing and starry skies are bright , D D7 she walks along the river in the quiet summer night . G she thinks if i remember we parted long ago; D7 G D D7 G i promised to come back again and never let her go . G she’s the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew . D D7 her eyes are bright as diamonds , they sparkle like the dew . G you may talk about your winsome maids and sing of rosalie , D7 G D D7 G but the yellow rose of texas beats the belles of tennessee . G oh , now i’m going to find her , my heart is full of woe; D D7 we’ll sing the song together we sang so long ago . G we’ll play the banjo gaily and sing the songs of yore , D G D D7 G and the yellow rose of texas will be mine forever more . G she’s the sweetest rose of color this soldier ever knew . D D7 her eyes are bright as diamonds , they sparkle like the dew . G you may talk about your winsome maids and sing of rosalie , D7 G D D7 G but the yellow rose of texas beats the belles of tennessee . set8
