The Yellow Rose

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.
