Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Vaughn Monroe Song - Navajo Rose?
I remember this song from childhood.

Have no information but this is one of the lyrics that comes back to me. I remember the melody and this lyric:

Far across the busy highway,
Where the weepin' willow grows,
They tell the legend of Tiabi,
The lovely Navajo rose.

She was lover to Tiamo,
Greatest warrior ever known,
And then one day he fell in battle,
And let Tiabi alone.

I wish I could hear it sung again.
The melody is haunting and beautiful.
Thank you for the lyrics.
