Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Yellow Rose of Texas
My old and dearly loved departed friend, Hamish Imlach, used to sing a version of this, beginning...

"Oh, the yellow dose that wrecks us
Is what she gave to me
I got the itch at half past nine,
the drip at half past three
I dipped my wick in turpentine
But still I couldn't pee
Oh! the yellow dose that wrecks us
Is what she gave to me".

I can hear that chuckle down the years...
