Yellow Rose of Texas (One Finger Strum Minstrel Banjo)

This is an American (and Texan) classic song. Didn't cover all the lyrics, but here they are:
I have some stuff planned soon for the channel (more songs and a new instrument) but it's very hot right now and recording outside is a little rough (as you can probably tell)
There's a yellow rose in Texas, that I am gonna see,
no other soldier knows her, nobody only me,
she cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart,
and when I once more see her we never more will part
She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew,
her eyes they shine like diamonds, they sparkle like the dew,
you may talk about your clementine and sing of Rosalie,
but the Yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.
And Now I'm going to find her, for my heart is full of woe,
we'll sing the songs together we sang so long ago,
we'll play the banjo gaily, she'll love me like before,
and the yellow rose of texas will be mind forevermore.

​@PaulReed-lj2ym pretty sure you misunderstood the comment lol

[@blc6464]

Sure is nice to hear music again!

[@Andy-pc8sr]

Not sure if I've already said this to you, but I'll be moving to Germany from Texas pretty soon. I've got a lot of excitement mixed with sadness about leaving my beloved home town/state for opportunity elsewhere, but your singing and playing always brings me a lot of comfort, makes me feel like my home culture won't be as far away. You're highly appreciated, friend, keep up the good work, and keep having fun. Much love

Good luck in your adventure friend, I’m sure you’ll find a lot of things when you get there, joy and sadness among them, but hopefully also a new sense of “home”, whatever form it will take, and however long or short a time it takes you to find it :)

Hooray, I haven't had your videos for a long time! I don't want to impose myself, but I really want to hear the Stanley Dog song performed by you.

[@knoxmassey6822]

by Whiskey Bent Valley Boys? That's the only version I can find

[@Alrmin]

Yes,this performer. I wonder which version of the banjo (with or without nylon) will sound better.@@knoxmassey6822

[@Nanigross]

Love it!

[@lucianotrono1381]

What a unit this man is. Sorry but the whole video was pretty funny with your very visible "this weather is gonna kill me" facial expression.

[@aylarosco2792]

Terribly sorry about the UNC tragedy this week. Tar heels strong!

[@knoxmassey6822]

Thanks. luckily I'm not studying there anymore. glad it wasn't worse though.
