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 roll by
And to me there`ll never be another
I`ll love her `til 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
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
