Waylon Jennings & Jesse Coulter Yellow Rose Of Texas Lyrics

JL
There's a yellow rose in Texas I'm going home to see
though other men have held her, her heart belongs to me
LB
You've traveled down some dusty roads, slept out in the rain
but this yellow rose is always here when you come home again
JL
she knows I've done some hard time
LB
you stumbled and you fell,
I just kept your pride from dying
JL
you saved my soul from hell
BOTH
she's the diamond of the desert, she's the golden flower of spring
she's the yellow rose in Texas, she can make a man a king

Instrumental break

JL
There's a yellow rose in Texas, she knows the dues I've paid
and I'm going home to tell her, I wish I'd never strayed
LB
you couldn't see beyond yourself, your pain and wounded pride
and now you know the truth is in the way you feel inside
JL
she knows I've done some hard times
LB
you stumbled and you fell,
I just kept your pride from dying
JL
you saved my soul from hell
BOTH
she's the diamond of the desert, she's the golden flower of spring
she's the yellow rose in Texas, she can make a man a king
yes, the yellow rose of Texas can make a man a king
