THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS
-
Chanson datant de la guerre d'indépendance du Texas contre le Mexique (1836). Devenue ensuite l'un des hymnes des Confédérés pendant la guerre de Sécession.
Tonalité :
G
There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am going to see
No D7
other cowboy knows her nobody only me
She G
cried so when I left her it like to broke her heart
G
She's the sweetest rose of color this cowboy ever knew
Her D7
eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew
You may G
talk about your dearest maids and sing of Rosalie
G
Where the Rio Grande is flowing and stars are shinning bright
We D7
walked along together on a quiet summer night
She G
said if you remember when we parted long ago
G
She's the sweetest rose of color this cowboy ever knew
Her D7
eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew
You may G
talk about your dearest maids and sing of Rosalie
G
I'm going back to see her my heart is full of woe
We'll D7
sing the song together we sang so long ago
We'll G
pick the banjo gaily and sing the songs of yore
