1
Down in old southern Texas I wandered one day
2
Where the tropical sea breezes blow
3
I there fell in love with a flower so rare
4
And they called her the Galveston rose.
5
Her heart was as true as her blue smiling eyes
6
And as fair as the lily that grows
7
And the finest of gold in no way could compare
8
With the curls of my Galveston rose.
9
I grew jealous and falsely accused her one day
10
Said her love I no longer should know
11
I've been true please believe me her little heart cried
12
But I left her my Galveston rose.
13
Little then did I think that sometimes I'd repay
14
And would reap every sorrow and care
15
But as years passed along I grew lonely each day
16
For the one I had left waiting there.
17
So I wrote to my darling and said I was wrong
18
I'll return dear if you'll only wed
19
But soon came a letter my flower had died
20
And these are the words that I read.
21
Your sweetheart is peacefully sleeping tonight
22
In a grave where the white violets grow
23
And enclosed, there's a curl a last token of love
24
And a note from your Galveston Rose.
25
I was innocent dear though you left me alone
26
But remember I loved only you
27
And the lock that's enclosed is a curl from your rose
28
Who'll be waiting in heaven for you...
