My Rose of Old Kentucky

She bloomed for me near a little village

In a cabin on the hill

We made our vows, we'd love each other

And I know we always willShe's my rose of old Kentucky

I watched her bloom as the years rolled by

And to me, there'll never be another

I'll love her till the day I dieOh, in dreams, I see my darling

In a gingham dress, she looks so sweet

Oh, I long for old Kentucky

And my darling was more to meShe's my rose of old Kentucky

I watched her bloom as the years rolled by

And to me, there'll never be another

I'll love her till the day I dieOh, I know, you often wonder

So I'll tell you the reason why

She's my rose of old Kentucky

And I know she'll never lieShe's my rose of old Kentucky

I watched her bloom as the years rolled by

And to me, there'll never be another

I'll love her till the day I die
