Rose of Old Kentucky

She bloomed for me in a little village

In a cabin on the hill

We made our vows to love each other

And I know we always will

She's my rose of old Kentucky

I watch her bloom as the years roll by

For me, there'll never be another

I'll love her 'til the day I die

In my dreams, I see my darling

In a gingham dress, she looks so sweet

How I long for old Kentucky

For my darlin' I will meet

She's my rose of old Kentucky

I watch her bloom as the years roll by

For me, there'll never be another

I'll love her 'til the day I die

Well, I know you often wonder

And I'll tell you the reason why

She's my rose of old Kentucky

And I know that she'll never lie

She's my rose of old Kentucky

I watch her bloom as the years roll by

For me, there'll never be another

I'll love her 'til the day I die

She's my rose of old Kentucky

I watch her bloom as the years roll by

For me, there'll never be another

I'll love her 'til the day I die

I'll love her 'til the day I die
