"The Yellow Rose of Texas" is a traditional American folk song dating back to the 19th century. It tells the story of a soldier who encounters a beautiful woman, the "Yellow Rose of Texas," while stationed in Texas during the Mexican-American War. The soldier is so stunned by her beauty that he becomes determined to win her affection. The lyrics describe his efforts to court her, including wearing a "buckskin jacket" and "sandals" to impress her.
