Day 17 Manifest Destiny

• Warm Up: Yellow Rose of Texas

• Homework: Cornell notes 130-138

Yellow Rose of TexasThere's a yellow rose of TexasThat I am going to seeNo other soldier knows herNo soldier, only me.She cried so when I left herIt like to broke my heartAnd if I ever find herWe never more will part.

She's the sweetest rose of colorThis soldier ever knewHer eyes are bright as diamondsThey sparkle like the dew.You may talk about your dearest MayAnd sing of Rosa LeeBut the Yellow Rose of TexasBeats the belles of Tennessee.

Oh, my heart is feeling wearyAnd my head is hanging lowI'm goin' back to GeorgyTo find my Uncle Joe.You may talk about your BeauregardAnd sing of Bobby LeeBut the Gallant Hood of TexasHe raised Hell in Tennessee.
