Yellow Rose
of Texas:
(Dedicated to E.D. Hill)
This ain’t no bullshit
This ain’t no lie
This ain’t no fishin’ line -
But here’s my hook –
I wish I can see –
See you all the time
You’re my yellow rose of Texas
The bestest out of the bunch
The yellow rose of Texas
Like two beers & a shot for lunch
You’re my yellow rose of Texas
A working mom with a whoopin’ punch
Driving down your dusty country road
I’m carrying a rusted load on my mind
I’m looking forward to seeing you
And spending some quality time – Just
Being near you I know it’ll’all subside
You raised from those thorns & stones
You’re my yellow rose of Texas
The bestest out of the bunch
The yellow rose of Texas
Like two beers & a shot for lunch
You’re my yellow rose of Texas
A working mom with a whoopin’ punch
You’re as pretty as a field of green in bloom
As graceful as the swans that sing & swoon
As dazzling as a big red harvest moon –
A big wedding party in the month of June –
I’m still gonna luv you in a year or two…
You’re my yellow rose of Texas
The bestest out of the bunch
The yellow rose of Texas
Like two beers & a shot for lunch
You’re my yellow rose of Texas
A working mom with a whoopin’ punch
You’re my yellow rose of Texas
You’re my yellow rose of Texas
You’re my yellow rose of Texas
