  • great. luv how he sang to lol <3

  • Wrong... This is the "Toooooo much information age" . Way too much.

  • Nice rendition of it. I love this song. :)

  • Half the songs accredited to certain people are stolen from others. What you say may be true, but who is to say that it's true just because it's in print!

  • Wrong..the story about Emily West is incorrect read..2001: A Texas Folklore Odyssey (University of North Texas Press), reveals that the song was in fact printed as sheet music in 1858 by Firth, Pond, and Co. of New York City and is credited to a mysterious "J.K...The Emily west story is just popular folklore no basis in fact.

  • The Yellow Rose of TeXas was written for a biracial woman.She was an indentured servant who was set free after the war. At that time biracials were referred to as high yellow [i don't know why].The phrase "prettiest rose of color"is the original words of this song.Yellow Rose was not about the color of a flower,but a biracial woman he was in love with.

  • I bet yer not even from Texss. Sounds to these old ears like yer from Noo York City. Silvertone? More like Coppertone to these ears. Just take your filiibidee floo frou frou folk and mosey along now.

  • sorry joannamay i'm wiv the others thats just the way it is sweetheart! by the way csacavalrytx cheers!!!

  • look, i'm not disputing the orinins of the song, i just don't like that people feel the need to update traditional music. I love music in it's original form, and rocked out isn't it.

    this is not about when the song was written, it's about a difference of opinion on musical traditions.

  • has this kid ever heard of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys? this is how the song was originally written, in Texas, in the 1800s.

    how is it hard to understand that this is the way its truly supposed to be played?
