Yellow Rose Of Texas   (Jopat 801)   Tom Roper


OPENER - CLOSER    Basic, R-H lady progression

Circle left
There's a yellow Rose in Texas, I'm going home to see
No other fellow loves her, half as much as me

Men star right, one time around
Left allemande that corner, turn your partner right
All 
four ladies promenade in the middle of the ring you go
Star thru with your partner, and you promenade home
You can talk about your Clementine and dream of Rosalie
But the yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me
FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Head two couples promenade halfway you go
Down the middle and touch 1/4, do a walk & dodge
You 
pass thru and trade by
Do a 
right & left thru, then veer to the left
And 
couples circulate one time you do
Tag the line, the girls go left, the boys go right and swing
Swing that lady and promenade the ring
You can talk about your Clementine and dream of Rosalie
But the yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me
MIDDLE BREAK    Basic, R-H lady progression

Circle left
She's the sweetest little Rose bud that Texas ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew

Men star right, one time around
Left allemande that corner, turn your partner right
All 
four ladies promenade in the middle of the ring you go
Star thru with your partner, and you promenade home
She cried so when I left her, it almost broke my heart
And if we ever meet again, we never more shall part

And the yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me
