Lyrics
- We’ve seen roses grow almost everywhere
But you’re one we place apart
For there’s none we’ve found who is half as fair
As our own sweet heart
Chorus
Yankee Rose so true
How we all love you
And we’re proud to say
You belong to the U. S. A.
Yankee Rose we call
Sweetest rose of all
And thru’ strife and care
You’re always there
That’s why we’ll always love you
Yankee Rose
- There are roses red, there’s a rose so white
But there’s mighty few like you
Everybody knows you’re the kind of rose
Who will be “true blue”
