She blooms for me near a little village 
In a cabin on the hill 
We made our vows, we love each other 
And I know we always will 


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


Oh, in my dreams I see my darling 
In a gingham dress you look so neat 
I long to feel your arms around me 
And to kiss your lips so sweet 


Since I left you in old Kentucky 
I've missed your love and need you so 
But from now on we're gonna be together 
>From your lovin' arms I'll never go 


She's my rose of old Kentucky 
I watch her bloom as the years roll by 
And I know there'll never be another 
I'll love her till the day I die
