Yellow Rose Of Texas   (Jopat 801)  Tom Roper

OPENER - ENDING



Circle left
There's a yellow rose in Texas, I'm going home to see
No other fellow loves her, half as much as me

Men star right, one time around left allemande that corner
Turn your partner right, all four ladies promenade
In the middle of the ring you go, star thru with your partner
And you promenade home
***
You can talk about your Clementine, and dream of Rosalie
But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me


FIGURE



(Heads twice, sides twice)
Heads promenade half around
Half way you go, down the middle and touch a quarter
Do a walk and dodge, you pass thru and trade by
Do a right and left thru, then veer to the left
And couples circulate one time you do, tag the line
The girls go left the boys go right and swing
Swing that lady and promenade the ring
***
You can talk about your Clementine, and dream of Rosalie
But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me


ALTERNATE VERSES



(Circle left)
She's the sweetest little rose bud, that Texas ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew

***
She cried so when I left her it almost broke my heart
And if we ever meet again, we never more shall part
