My Rose of Old Kentucky Lyrics

She blooms for me near little village in our cabin on the hill
We made our vow to love each other and I know we always will
She's my rose of old Kentucky I watch her bloom as years go by
And there'll never be another I'll love her till the day I die
[ banjo ]
Though in dreams I see my darling in a gingo dress she looks so sweet
Oh how I long for old Kentucky and my darling what's more for me
She's my rose...
[ mandolin ]
Oh 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 lie
She's my rose...
