THE BEST RENDITION OF THAT SONG I EVER HEARD WAS BY MICHAEL MARTIN MURPHY.
IT IS ON HIS ALBUM "COWBOY SONGS". THE LADY THE SONG WAS WRITEN ABOUT WAS EMILY WEST A MULATTO WHO WAS SUPPOSEDLY SUCH A GREAT DISTRACTION TO SANTA ANNA THAT HE LOST THE WAR OVER HER. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND SHE IS STILL CONSIDERED A HEROINE IN TEXAS.
THE TV SONG "YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS" WAS SUNG BY JOHNNY LEE AND LAINE BRODY. IT WAS WRITEN FOR THE TV SHOW OF THE SAME NAME AND I THOUGHT IT SUCKED. IT DOES NOT PAY HOMAGE TO "THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS". EMILY WEST.
IF YOU EVER GET TO HEAR MURPHY'S RENDITION LISTEN TO THE WORDS VEEERY CAREFULLY. THERE IS A LOT REVEALED IN THEM.
GOD BLESS AND HAPPY TRAILS.
