While I was going through the various photos I captured today I fell in love with this particular photo... me and my roses. The song "The Yellow Rose of Texas" popped into my head so I googled the lyrics. I wanted to see what the song was all about, here it is for those of you who don't know it....
There's a yellow rose of Texas
That I am going to see
No other soldier knows her
No soldier, only me.
She cried so when I left her
It like to broke my heart
And if I ever find her
We never more will part.
That I am going to see
No other soldier knows her
No soldier, only me.
She cried so when I left her
It like to broke my heart
And if I ever find her
We never more will part.
She's the sweetest rose of color
This soldier ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew.
You may talk about your dearest May
And sing of Rosa Lee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee.

Oh, my heart is feeling weary
And my head is hanging low
I'm goin' back to Georgy
To find my Uncle Joe.
You may talk about your Beauregard
And sing of Bobby Lee
But the Gallant Hood of Texas
He raised Hell in Tennessee.
And my head is hanging low
I'm goin' back to Georgy

In my dreams my ideal man would compare me to a rose and not a black one neither! A girl can dream. :-)
Sunny and cheerful!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant colour and nice contrast - great shot to lead us into spring!
ReplyDeleteThank you Regina, I see that you also have yellow on your post today. I was going to comment on your photo and will get back there to do that yet!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rick... too bad it's snowing now! lol
Darlene! Thanks for visiting my blog. It's great to have a fellow social worker following me and a Canadian one to boot. I haven't read everything yet, but love the pictures and a chance to see what is going on in your part of the world. I will be following!
ReplyDeleteOh that is such a beautiful rose. It bought a tear to my eye as my Dads favorites were yellow roses. Your photo is the sign I asked for this morning - thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi Judy,
ReplyDeletewelcome to my world. I just browsed through your site last night, life is hectic with studies which I'm sure you can relate to but I love your sense of humor! I look forward to following you.
Davine,
your welcome. A great big huge hug goes out to you this morning, almost in time for you to head off to bed... if you're not already there! Sweet dreams my friend.
I'll have that song stuck in my head all day. ;-)
