Yellow Rose of Texas
By: Johnny Lee and Lane Brody

Key of F

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

Chorus:
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

Repeat Chorus

Yes, the yellow rose of Texas
Can make a man a king
