41.  The yellow Rose of Texas

There’s a yellow rose in Texas, I’m going back to see.

No other fellow loves her as half as much as me.

She cried so when I left her, It almost broke my heart.

And if we ever meet again, we never more shall part.

She’s the sweetest little rosebud, that texas ever knew.

Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.

You can talk about your Clementine and dream of Rosalie.

But the Yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.

Buffalo Gals

CHORUS

Buffalo gals, wont’ you come out tonight

Come out tonight, come out tonight?

Buffalo gals, won’t you come out tonight.

And dance by the light of the moon?

As I was strollin’s down the street.

Down the street, down the street.

A pretty little fal’s I chanced to meet.

Oh, she was sweet to me!

I’d like to make this gal my wife.

Gal my wife, gal my wife.

I ‘d make her happy for all her life.

If she would marry me!
