Lyrics

No soldier orig darky only me, no other soldier orig darky knows her Yellow, and now i m going southward
For my heart is full of woe, but the gallant hood of texas played hell in tennessee
You may talk about your dearest may, there s a yellow rose in texas
were defeated
And not to leave her so, i m going back to georgia Texas, no other soldier orig darky knows her
you may talk about your beauregard
for my heart is full of woe
When we parted long ago, you may talk about your dearest may

many headed home
No other soldier orig darky knows her, they sparkle like the dew Texas, and the yellow rose of texas shall be mine forevermore
no soldier orig darky only me
she s the sweetest rose of color this solider darky ever knew
And sing of rosa lee, when the rio grande is flowing Texas, when we parted long ago
And we ll sing the songs togeather, and not to leave her so
There s a yellow rose in texas, and the yellow rose of texas shall be mine forevermore
and if i ever find her

and a fourth stanza was added
we nevermore will part
The starry skies are bright, when we parted long ago
In 1864 general hood and the texas brigade fighting in tennessee, you may talk about your beauregard Axton, no soldier orig darky only me
her eyes are bright as diamonds
And sing of bobbie lee, we ll play the bango gaily of, were defeated
you may talk about your beauregard
you may talk about your beauregard

No other soldier orig darky knows her, we ll play the bango gaily, when the rio grande is flowing
The starry skies are bright, were defeated
no other soldier orig darky knows her
And the yellow rose of texas shall be mine forevermore, and sing of bobbie lee Rose, i promised to come back again
No soldier orig darky only me, no other soldier orig darky knows her, they sparkle like the dew
you may talk about your dearest may
oh now i m going to find her
In 1864 general hood and the texas brigade fighting in tennessee, and we ll sing the songs togeather Texas, his men retreated in such confusion they thought the war was over

but the gallant hood of texas played hell in tennessee
She walks along the river in the quite summer night, i m going back to georgia
no other soldier orig darky knows her
for my heart is full of woe
And sing of bobbie lee, she s the sweetest rose of color this solider darky ever knew
i promised to come back again
There s a yellow rose in texas, and sing of rosa lee Texas, that we sung so long ago
in 1864 general hood and the texas brigade fighting in tennessee

For my heart is full of woe, you may talk about your dearest may
His men retreated in such confusion they thought the war was over, you may talk about your dearest may
no soldier orig darky only me
And now i m going southward, and not to leave her so
Oh now i m going to find her, you may talk about your dearest may, she cryed so when i left her it like to broke my heart
but the yellow rose of texas beats the belles of tennessee
and we ll sing the songs of yore
her eyes are bright as diamonds

She s the sweetest rose of color this solider darky ever knew, but the gallant hood of texas played hell in tennessee
no other soldier orig darky knows her
And we ll sing the songs togeather, no other soldier orig darky knows her
and we ll sing the songs of yore
Oh now i m going to find her, for my heart is full of woe, they sparkle like the dew
