Yellow Rose of Texas There's a yellow rose in Texas I'm going home to see Though other men have held her Her heart belongs to me I've traveled down some dusty roads I've slept out in the rain But this yellow rose is always here When I come home again Chorus: She knows I've done some hard time I stumbled and I fell You just kept my pride from dying You saved my soul from hell She's the diamond of the desert She's the golden flower of spring She's the yellow rose of Texas She can make a man a king There's a yellow rose in Texas She knows the dues I've paid And I'm going home to tell her I wish I'd never strayed I couldn't see beyond myself I pain and wounded pride But now I know the truth is in the way I feel inside Chorus
