no other fellow knows her, nobody, only me.
D D7 G D
She cried so when I left her, it almost broke my heart,
A D

G D
She's the sweetest rose of color a cowboy ever knew,
E A
her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew,

You may talk about your dearest
maids and sing of Rosalie,
A D
but the Yellow Rose of
D D7 G D
2. Where the

along the river on a quiet summer night.

“If you remember, we parted long ago,
A D
you promised
to come back again and never let me go”.

we’ll sing
the songs together, we sang so long ago.
