The Yellow Rose Lyrics

There's a yellow rose in Texas I'm going home to see
Though other men have held her, her heart belongs to me
You've traveled down some dusty roads you've slept out in the rain
But this yellow rose is always here when you come home again

She knows I've done some hard time you stumbled then you fell
I just kept your 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
You couldn't see beyond yourself your pain and wounded pride
But now you know the truth is in the way you feel inside

She knows I've done some hard time you stumbled then you fell
I just kept your 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
Yes the yellow rose of Texas can make a man a king.
