(Bill Monroe)

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

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

--- Instrumental ---

Though in dreams I see my darling
In a gingum dress she looks so sweet
Oh, how I long for old Kentucky
And my darling what's more for me.

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

--- Instrumental ---

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.

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