Yellow Bandana Lyrics - Faron Young

(Steve Karliski - Larry Kolber - Al Gordoni) 

This is the story of the Yellow Bandana 

A handsome young soldier and the girl named Rosana. 

Oh, way down west in the winds on New Mexico 

There lived a girl and the soldier who loved her so 

And every night neath the full crimson moon above 

This brave young soldier would pledge her his love. 

And he gave Rosana his yellow bandana 

To wear in her hair till he's with her once more 

He gave Rosana his yellow bandana 

Mounted his pony and rode off to war.

His orders came and he had to ride west again 

Seems that Apaches were causing unrest again 

He kissed Rosana goodbye as he rode away 

Promising this time he'd come back to stay. 

And he gave Rosana his yellow bandana 

To wear in her hair till he's with her once more 

He gave Rosana his yellow bandana 

Mounted his pony and rode off to war. 

That war was over and he came back home and found 

That the Apaches had burned the whole village down 

And neath the tree where he'd last kissed Rosana 

Gripped on the cross was his yellow bandana. 

And he gave Rosana his yellow bandana 

To wear in her hair till he's with her once more 

He gave Rosana his yellow bandana 

Mounted his pony and rode off to war.
