Bill Monroe
- She bloomed for me near little village,
In a cabin on a hill;
We made our vows, we'd love each other,
And I know, we always will.
Chorus:
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 once more to meet.
Chorus:...
- Oh, I know, you'd often wonder,
So I tell you the reason why:
She's my rose of old Kentucky,
And I know, she'll never lie.
Chorus:...
