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 will

She'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

Oh 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 me

She'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

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 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
