CONFEDERATE SONG ~ THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS

I am a proud Texan and Southerner. God bless Texas, the South and y'all proud Southerners who love their heritage.

LYRICS:

1. 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 to broke my heart,
And if I ever find her, we nevermore will part.

CHORUS:
She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee,
But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.

2. When the Rio Grande is flowing, 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.

CHORUS

3. Oh now I'm gonna find her, for my heart is full of woe,
We will do the things together, that 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 forevermore.

CHORUS

AmericanZeus. Do you know who the "Yellow Rose of Texas" was and who wrote the original song?

[AmericanZeus]

@ArizonaDesertPiper The writer of the song is unknown. Legend has it that the song was written for a woman named Emily D. West — a mulatto, and hence, the song's reference to her being "yellow". The legend also credits her supposed seduction with lowering the guard of the Mexican army and facilitating the Texan victory in the Battle of San Jacinto waged in 1836. Santa Anna's opponent was General Sam Houston, who won the battle literally in minutes, and with almost no casualties.

I used to like this song until I saw how racist the people in the comments section were. Seriously- "keep those niggers picking cotton, where they belong!" I didn't know people were still so ignorant. Shame on all of you!

I hate how our schools only teach us the battles that the union won, it pisses me off, didn't the Confederacy win most of the battles? and I'm a Texan as well
