There's a Rose in Texas
There's a rose in Texas that loves me.
She holds me and love me all night long.
Kisses are sweet as dewberry wine.
The love she gives is heaven divine
and everybody knows she's mine...all mine.
She flashed me a smile and I melted away.
She knew she had me and now I want to stay.
I fell for her greatly as she looked my way
and now I lover her dearly and forever will
want her to stay.
There's a rose in Texas that loves me.
