Texas, our Texas!  All hail the mighty State!
Texas, our Texas!  So wonderful so great!

Boldest and grandest, Withstanding every test;
O Empire wide and glorious,  

You stand supremely blest.

God bless you Texas! 

And keep you brave and strong,
That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.

God bless you Texas! 

And keep you brave and strong,

That you may grow in power and worth, 

throughout the ages long. 

The stars at night are big and bright,  👏

Deep in the heart of Texas.
The prairie sky is wide and high,  👏
Deep in the heart of Texas.

The sage in bloom is like perfume,   👏
Deep in the heart of Texas.
Reminds me of the one I love,   👏
Deep in the heart of Texas.

The coyotes wail along the trail,   👏
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The rabbits rush around the brush,   👏
Deep in the heart of Texas.

The cowboys cry, “Ki-yip-pee-yi,”   👏

Deep in the heart of Texas.

The doggies bawl and bawl and bawl,   👏

Deep in the heart of Texas. 

(ORIGINAL Version)

There's a yellow rose in Texas, That I am going to see,
Nobody else could miss her, Not half as much as me.
She cried so when I left her It like to broke my heart,
And if I ever find her, We nevermore will part.

CHORUS:

She's the sweetest little rosebud 

That Texas ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, 

They sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your Clementine, 

And sing of Rosalee,
But the YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS 

Is the only girl for me.

When the Rio Grande is flowing, 

The starry skies are bright,
She walks along the river In the quiet summer night:
I know that she remembers, When we parted long ago,
I promise to return again, And not to leave her so. 

REPEAT CHORUS 

Oh now I'm going to find her, For my heart is full of woe,
And we'll sing the songs together, 

That we sung so long ago
We'll play the banjo gaily, 

And we'll sing the songs of yore,
And the Yellow Rose of Texas Shall be mine forevermore. 

REPEAT CHORUS

CHORUS: 

The Yellow Rose of Texas, Is sweepin’ cross the land
It’s heard on every jukebox, And played by every band
So come along and join us, It’s where you ought to be
Out here on the dance floor, With friends and family

Slide along and turn around, Can’t you feel the beat
The magic’s in the music, The rhythm’s in your feet
When we dance together, We’re havin’ so much fun
So let’s just keep on movin’, Until the music’s done

REPEAT CHORUS

It only takes the two of us, To lead the rest along
Come and join the party, Started by this song
The line goes on forever, Don’t have to wait your turn
The Yellow Rose of Texas, Is the dance you’ve gotta learn

REPEAT CHORUS

Out here on the dance floor, With friends and family
Out here on the dance floor, With friends and family

ALL: 

This land is your land, this land is my land 

From California, to the New York Island 

From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters 

This land was made for you and me 

SOLO 1: 

I roamed and rambled, and I followed my footsteps 

To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts 

SOLO 2: 

And all around me a voice was singing 

This land was made for you and me! 

ALL: 

This land is your land, this land is my land 

From California, to the New York Island 

From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters 

This land was made for you and me 

SOLO 3: 

As I went walking that ribbon of highway 

I saw above me that endless skyway 

SOLO 4: 

I saw below me those golden valleys 

This land was made for you and me! 

ALL: 

This land is your land, this land is my land 

From California, to the New York Island 

From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters 

This land was made for you and me 

This land was made for you and me 

SOLO 1: 

I was born in Lousiana down on the ol' bouyo

Rasied on shrimps and catfish, mammy's good gumbo

SOLO 2: 

I got the ramblin' fever, said goodbye to ma and pa

Crossed that ol' red river and this is what I saw

ALL: 

I saw miles and miles of Texas

All the stars up in the sky

I saw miles and miles of Texas

Gonna live here 'til I die

SOLO 3: 

I rode up in to Austin the cradle of the West

Just ask any cowboy he'll tell you it's the best

SOLO 4: 

I met a Texas beauty, I got friendly with her pa

I looked in to her big blue eyes this is what I saw

ALL: 

I saw miles and miles of Texas

All the stars up in the sky

I saw miles and miles of Texas

Gonna live here 'til I die

I started tamin' broncos, I made every rodeo

Until I met a tough one, his name was “Mustang Joe”

I grabbed hold of his bridle just to ride this ol' outlaw

He threw me from the saddle and this is what I saw

I saw miles and miles of Texas

All the stars up in the sky

I saw miles and miles of Texas

Gonna live here 'til I die
