Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Yellow Rose of Texas
I have a vague recollection of a 'Man from Laramie' version that was quite bawdy but can't remember all of it, from the 50s in Yorkshire if I remember aright.
The yellow rose of Texas, the man from Laramie, He took her to a valley and tied her to a tree,. . . (No Davy Crockett).
Ed Cray published a highly obscene version from the Korean War, in his Erotic Muse.
