Y is a hard letter for Texas. I found a couple of places but they were strange or didn’t really seem to fit the sort of thing I was going for. So, I went for a good old Texas folk song.
I am just going to share a couple of recordings of the song with you. I’ll let you sort our the folk tale from the truth because honestly, I don’t think anyone can sort it out. So, I just teach and enjoy the song as folk music.
Here’s the Yellow Rose of Texas –
The one that made the song famous:
Who doesn’t enjoy an Elvis Presley version of a song?
And a Civil War version (from what I can determine). . .
Blessings,
At Home.
