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
