My rose of old Kentucky



She bloomed for me near a little village
In a cabin on the hill
We made our vow we'd love each other
And I hope we always will



    She's my rose of old Kentucky
    I watched her bloom as the years rolled by
    And to me there will never be another
    I'll love her till the day I die



Oh, in dreams I see my darling
In a gingham dress she looks so sweet
Oh, how I long for old Kentucky
And my darling was more than real



  * Refrain



Oh, I know you often wondered
So I'll tell you the reason why
She is my rose of old Kentucky
And I know she will never lie



  * Refrain
