Joyce Grenfell - The Yellow Rose of Texas
There's a yellow rose in texas
That i am going to see
No other darky knows her
No darky only me
She cryed so when i left her
It like to broke my heart
And now the yellow rose taxi
We nevermore will part
She's the sweetest rose
Of color this darky 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
The starry skies are bright
She walks along the river
In the quite summer time
And she like if i remember
But the lovely days of your
I know the yellow rose taxi
will be my forever more
