The song was first published in 1858. It tells the love story of how slave Emelie Morgan helped win the 1836 Battle of San Jasino, which decided the fate of the Texas Revolution. During the Civil War, the Confederate army was especially popular among soldiers who came from Texas. The song has been slightly changed. the names of the KSA military leaders appeared in the chorus, etc. But this version of the song is preserved in its original form.

There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am gonna see

Nobody else could miss her not half as much as me

She cried so when I left her it like it broke her heart

And if I ever find her we will never more will part

She's the sweetest little rose bud that Texas ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew

You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee

But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me

Where the Rio Grand is flowing and the starry skies are bright

She walks along the river in the quiet summer night

I know that she remembers when we parted long ago

I promise to return and not to leave her so

She's the sweetest little rose bud that Texas ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew

You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee

But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me

Now I'm gonna find her for my heart is full of woe

We'll do the things together we did so long ago

We'll play the banjo gaily she'll love me like before

And the yellow rose of Texas shall be mine forever more

She's the sweetest little rose bud that Texas ever knew

Her eyes are bright as diamonds they sparkle like the dew

You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee

But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me
