Yellow Rose Of Texas - Alderon Tyran

An Absolutely Classic, Texan song, now brought into the Universe of the Second Civil War! I had lot's of requests for this song so I hope you enjoy!
Lyrics:
There's a yellow rose of Texas I'm going for to see,
no other soldier knows her, not half as much as me.
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart,
and if I ever find her, we never more shall 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 winsome maids and sing of Rosalie,
but the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.
Well I’ve joined up with the Texas Guard, the army of my state!
We marched down to the border, and there we made it safe.
Against that storm from Mexico, we all stood firm and true,
And each night as the stars emerged, my thoughts returned to you.
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 winsome maids and sing of Rosalie,
but the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.
In the heart of proud old Houston, we met the federal might,
With grit and Texan courage, we fought into the night.
The echoes of our struggle, under the city's glow,
Yet in the silence between the shots, I missed her soft 'hello'.
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 winsome maids and sing of Rosalie,
but the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.
To the distant fields of Virginia, with the Rangers, I was sent,
Where in those cold, dark trenches, man-y a night was spent.
Amidst the chill and danger, her memory my balm,
I'd hold close to her image, a soothing, peaceful calm.
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 winsome maids and sing of Rosalie,
but the Yellow Rose of Texas beats the belles of Tennessee.
As I trudge through this new war-torn land, her love it is my guide;
Amid each burning sunset's glow, through the en’my tide.
Through smoke and blood and battle cries, one truth remains to be:
That the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me.
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 winsome maids and sing of Rosalie,
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me.

So with _only_ a month long delay, I feel that I should probably have gotten this out before August ends (even if I'm pushing the bounds of that). This song has been requested in one form or another for months and was an absolute blast to write and play. Unfortunately It's also the last one I was able to record with the new guitar before it died on me and needed to be taken in for repairs so that was part of the delay, although alot of that delay was just life catching up with me 😅. Regardless, I thank you all for your patience while I get these made at this pace. For those of you who've been considering Patreon, or are otherwise interested, This song released back in July as an early audio release for Patreons only. Since I'm wanting to help encourage engagement with Patreon, I'm intending to release songs at least a week earlier there, so feel free to support me on Patreon! www.patreon.com/AlderonTyran Also, The Patreon poll for August's (now September's) song only had 4 votes so if you're feeling like you want to pick future songs, definitely swing by and make your voice heard! *Note: A few people pointed out there are some audio issues. I'd originally thought it was just my old computer lagging, but it appears that, no, those issues were real and managed their way into the release song. Sorry for that all!

I've seen how much of a good work you did with Fire In The Sky and Cold Iron, the latter being basically a cover of Leslie Fish's take on the same poem. I'd really like to see you make a cover of the "Engineer's Hymn" by Leslie Fish, expanding more on the space music you're doing with Fire in the Sky and Dawson's Christian.

[@erstanden3637]

Maybe you could do a rendition of Richmond is a Hard Road to Travel or Jackson in the Valley

[@FishbedFive]

I would have waited a decade for this. The only things I'm sad about is the State's flag being used instead of the slightly brighter Republic's, but I couldn't care for it, the cover's amazing.

Hey Tyran, I've been watching for as long as I can remember, and I think I was the one who suggested this song. Well, I'm joining the Texas National Guard this year (Because of the border) and my mind instantly came to this song. Feels weird how accurate this song is. Thank you for all the fantastic songs and making my playlists sound so much better. Godbless and #standwithtexas

I am an active duty soldier. But I was stationed in Texas. During my time here I've completely fallen in love with this state. I often tell this joke. There are two states in America with a prominent secessionist movements, and they are Texas and California. I actually support both movements Texas because this mighty land could be it's own country. California because I want to invade California

[@Northerner-NotADoctor]

i mean, the only problem with texas is the weather. so i hope california has its secession, so that texas can invad and annex the land so it can have that better weather

Ay man what the devil is that? The lyrics of that song are bad, like objectively of poor artistic quality, but the tune is quite jolly I must admit. And also that's an anti-american song. Bonnie blue flag? What about the american flag? That's what we should wave and believe in. It's the commies who hate the founding and foundational values of America. America belongs to those who believe in the constitution. Not to those who are its enemies.

[@acttaslam9364]

Bonnie Blue Flag should just include Dixieland and Texas considering they were part of the former Confederacy a unified Marching Song between the two. You should do 2 covers of Balled of the Alamo 1 the normal one we all know and love. And the other being a Unifying Balled for the Texas Guard in your 2ACW series.@@alderontyran I love what you're doing. ❤❤❤️

[@alderontyran]

Funny enough I didn't the process for making those maps is more or less using alot of edits of originally a HOI4 state map, and then running it through various filters and edits. I believe there's a video I came across a few years back showing how to make those maps, but I've not been able to find it since 😅 All my image edits are done with Paint.NET though.

The Second Texas Republic (2024- ) is governed by the mildly unpopular senator Ted Cruz after he coup'd provisional president Greg Abbott with the help of the Texas State Guard (formerly the National Guard), and is a key player in the Second American Civil War. Texas is one of the few breakaway regions who aren't fighting to take land, but are instead fighting to preserve their sovereignty, with the only other region doing so being Dixieland (officially designated the Confederate Dixie Republic, coined by vice president Tom Cotton to differentiate it from the first Confederacy). Being founded soon after the 2024 election was cancelled and martial law was established by President Joseph Biden, this nation has seen no storage of conflict. The Texas Rangers were upgraded from just a series of local law enforcement agencies to the designated volunteer force who has fought in the various other fronts, most notably in the Virginia front where a platoon of Rangers singlehandedly liberated the capitol of West Virginia before moving into Maryland, where they were rumored to only have stopped when "their trucks wouldn't start and their legs wouldn't walk". Despite many eyewitness accounts atesting these Rangers were real, no remains have been found, and the only physical evidence of their existence is what was claimed to be their abandoned trucks along I-68 inside Maryland borders, which have since been seized by Federal Forces and have been destroyed. As for the home front, the Texas State Guard and Texas National Army did all of the fighting, with the Texas National Air Force providing support (the Texas National Navy was not yet established). The Battle of El Paso occurred when the Federally aligned Rocky Mountain State of New Mexico attempted to cross into the city. The National Army was able to keep them from entering the city proper, and held them off for the duration of the 5-day skirmish until the Rocky Mountain forces retreated. The National Air Force then bombarded the only roadways and bridges on the entire western border to ward off any future attempts to cross into Texan lands. Shortly after that, Mexican special forces attempted to cross over the then-shutdown Mexican-Texan border to raid bordertowns and recruit soldiers and spies for the planned reclamation of Texas, which was leaked by Julian Assange after it became clear the United States was not going to extradite him from England (which was going through the Glasgow Communal Uprising and a war with Ireland at the time). Despite Mexico catching Texas off guard, armed civilians were able outpace and flank the Mexican forces. When the State Guard reinforcements arrived, they chased after the Mexican forces despite orders from President Cruz to just secure the border, and ended up pushing 13 miles into Mexican territory before being met with heavy resistance. Miraculously, NATO was not disbanded when the Second American Civil War boke out. Instead, France and then Germany assumed leadership until the United States quelled their uprisings. However, NATO's response was very divided. The Visegrad nations (Hungary, Slovakia, Czezia, and Poland) recognized the independence of both Texas and Dixeland, and equated their battles to the Hungarian Revolution and the dissolution of the USSR. Meanwhile Germany, Belgium, France, and Spain recognized the Federal Government, which was spearheaded by Kamala Harris after Joseph Biden died from a heart attack in January 2025. Portugal, Denmark, and Norway opted out of recognizing anyone, while Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Finland, and Macedonia stated they would "wait it out and recognize whomever comes out on top"

[@jaffarebellion292]

In a strange twist of fate, and much to the young statesman's chagrin, the people of Texas simply refused to let President Brandon Herrera quit. God knows, he's tried, but the thought of having to actually finish the AK-50 sent him back into the halls of politics with his head hung, begrudgingly serving another term and resolving to drown his disappointment with a six-pack of White Claw.

[@mosin_boi]

Dude, you have to do the original song of the vermonteers. The known version is only 3 paragraphs and much smaller than the original, which I found on Wikipedia. You also seem to like adding to these songs and I greatly respect that. All this being said, it seems like the perfect song for you to make. Lyrics: Ho-all to the borders! Vermonters, come down, With your breeches of deerskin and jackets of brown; With your red woollen caps and your moccasins come, To the gathering summons of trumpet and drum. Come down with your rifles! Let gray wolf and fox Howl on in the shade of their primitive rocks; Let the bear feed securely from pig-pen and stall; Here's two-legged game for your powder and ball. On our south came the Dutchmen, enveloped in grease; And arming for battle while canting of peace; On our east crafty Meshech has gathered his band To hang up our leaders and eat up our land. Ho-all to the rescue! For Satan shall work No gain for his legions of Hampshire and York! They claim our possessions-the pitiful knaves- The tribute we pay shall be prisons and graves! Let Clinton and Ten Broek with bribes in their hands, Still seek to divide and parcel our lands; We've coats for our traitors, whoever they are; The warp is of feathers-the filling of tar: Does the 'old Bay State' threaten? Does Congress complain? Swarms Hampshire in arms on our borders again? Bark the war dogs of Britain aloud on the lake- Let 'em come; what they can they are welcome to take. What seek they among us? The pride of our wealth Is comfort, contentment, and labor, and health, And lands which, as Freemen we only have trod, Independent of all, save the mercies of God. Yet we owe no allegiance, we bow to no throne, Our ruler is law and the law is our own; Our leaders themselves are our own fellow-men, Who can handle the sword, or the scythe, or the pen. Our wives are all true, and our daughters are fair, With their blue eyes of smiles and their light flowing hair, All brisk at their wheels till the dark even-fall, Then blithe at the sleigh-ride the husking and ball! We've sheep on the hillsides, we've cows on the plain, And gay-tasselled corn-fields and rank-growing grain; There are deer on the mountains, and wood-pigeons fly From the crack of our muskets, like clouds on the sky. And there's fish in our streamlets and rivers which take Their course from the hills to our broad bosomed lake; Through rock-arched Winooski the salmon leaps free, And the portly shad follows all fresh from the sea. Like a sunbeam the pickerel glides through the pool, And the spotted trout sleeps where the water is cool, Or darts from his shelter of rock and of root, At the beaver's quick plunge, or the angler's pursuit. And ours are the mountains, which awfully rise, Till they rest their green heads on the blue of the skies; And ours are the forests unwasted, unshorn, Save where the wild path of the tempest is torn. And though savage and wild be this climate of ours, And brief be our season of fruits and of flowers, Far dearer the blast round our mountains which raves, Than the sweet summer zephyr which breathes over slaves! Hurrah for Vermont! For the land which we till Must have sons to defend her from valley and hill; Leave the harvest to rot on the fields where it grows, And the reaping of wheat for the reaping of foes From far Michiscom's wild valley, to where Poosoonsuck steals down from his wood-circled lair, From Shocticook River to Lutterlock town Ho-all to the rescue! Vermonters come down! Come York or come Hampshire, come traitors or knaves, If ye rule o'er our land ye shall rule o'er our graves; Our vow is recorded-our banner unfurled, In the name of Vermont we defy all the world!
