MALE VERSION:

Sweet Kentucky Rose
You're always in my heart
I dream about you every day

Sweet Kentucky Rose
I'm sorry we're apart
I never should have gone away

I'll be coming back
To hold you once again
And settle where the bluegrass grows

We'll build a little home
Then I will never roam
My sweet Kentucky Rose
(Instrumental Break)
I dream about you every day
(Instrumental Break)
I never should have gone away

I'll be coming back
To hold you once again
And settle where the bluegrass grows

We'll build a little home
Then I will never roam
My sweet Kentucky Rose

FEMALE VERSION:

Sweet Kentucky Rose
You're always in his heart
He dreams about you every day

Sweet Kentucky Rose
He's sorry you're apart
He never should have gone away

Soon he'll be coming back
To hold you once again
And settle where the bluegrass grows

He'll build a little home
Then he will never roam
From his sweet Kentucky Rose
(Instrumental Break)
He dreams about you every day
(Instrumental Break)
He never should have gone away

Soon he'll be coming back
To hold you once again
And settle where the bluegrass grows

He'll build a little home
Then he will never roam
From his sweet Kentucky Rose
