Lyrics
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 darling I will meet.
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 will never lie.About This Song
