The song is believed by some to have been based on a Texas legend - TopicsExpress

The song is believed by some to have been based on a Texas legend from the days of the Texas War of Independence. According to the legend, Emily D. West (also known as Emily Morgan) was seized by Mexican forces during the looting of Galveston. She seduced General Antonio López de Santa Anna, President of Mexico and commander of the Mexican forces. The legend credits her supposed seduction of Santa Anna with lowering the guard of the Mexican army and facilitating the Texan victory in the Battle of San Jacinto waged in 1836 near present-day Houston. Santa Annas opponent was General Sam Houston, who won the battle literally in minutes, and with almost no casualties. West was a mulatto, of mixed race ancestry. The song refers to her as the yellow rose, in keeping with the historical use of term high yellow as a description of light skin among people of color in the South.
