"The Yellow Rose of Texas" is a traditional American song dating back to at least the 1850s. Members of the #WesternWritersOfAmerica chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time. Many versions of the song have been recorded, the most popular of which was by #MitchMiller, whose version reached No. 1 in the United States in 1955. Its popularity made it an unofficial state song of Texas (the actual state song is "#TexasOurTexas").

Oh, Lordy. Well of course he did.
