The Galveston Rose - Hank Snow[00:00:00]

Down in old southern Texas[00:00:05]

I wandered one day[00:00:08]

Where the tropical sea breezes blow[00:00:11]

I there fell in love with a flower[00:00:17]

So rare[00:00:22]

And they called her the Galveston rose[00:00:23]

Her heart was as true[00:00:29]

As her blue smiling eyes[00:00:32]

And as fair as the lily that grows[00:00:35]

And the finest of gold[00:00:41]

In no way could compare[00:00:44]

With the curls of my Galveston rose[00:00:47]

I grew jealous and falsely[00:00:53]

Accused her one day[00:00:56]

Said her love I no longer[00:00:59]

Should know[00:01:02]

I've been true please believe me[00:01:05]

Her little heart cried[00:01:08]

But I left her my Galveston rose[00:01:11]

Little then did I think[00:01:32]

That sometimes I'd repay[00:01:35]

And would reap every sorrow and care[00:01:38]

But as years passed along[00:01:44]

I grew lonely each day[00:01:47]

For the one I had left waiting there[00:01:50]

So I wrote to my darling[00:01:56]

And said I was wrong[00:01:59]

I'll return dear if you only wed[00:02:02]

But soon came a letter my flower had died[00:02:08]

And these are the words that I read[00:02:14]

Your sweetheart is peacefully sleeping tonight[00:02:20]

In a grave where the white violets grow[00:02:26]

And enclosed[00:02:32]

There a curl a last token of love[00:02:34]

And a note from your Galveston Rose[00:02:37]

I was innocent dear[00:02:44]

Though you left me alone[00:02:46]

But remember I loved only you[00:02:50]

And the lock that enclosed[00:02:56]

Is a curl from your rose[00:02:58]

Who'll be waiting in heaven for you[00:03:02]
