She's the Yellow Rose of Texas that I am going to see
There ain't no other soldier that loves her quite like me
When I get back to Austin how happy I will be
With the Yellow Rose of Texas sittin' on my knee

She's the sweetest little rose bud this soldier ever knew
With eyes as bright as diamonds and they sparkled like the dew
When I get back to Austin how happy I will be
With the Yellow Rose of Texas sittin' on my knee

She cried so when I left her it like to broke my heart
And if I ever find her we never more will part
When I get back to Austin how happy I will be
With the Yellow Rose of Texas sittin' on my knee
