Question

Yahoo was wrong about Waylon Jennings not recording Yellow Rose of Texas?

Answer 1

Waylon Jennings may well have recorded "The Yellow Rose Of Texas,", however his version was not the original, and was not the hit the original was.The original tune was written during the Civil war, and the words have changed several times since then.

In 1956, Mitch Miller made the original instrumental recording of the song, and I remember how popular it was when the words were also recorded by Perry Como.
