MY ROSE OF OLD KENTUCKY (for Tony Snow, 1955-2008)
She blooms for me, near a little village,
In a cabin, on the hill.
We made our vows we'd love each other,
And I hope we always will.
Often in my dreams I see my darlin'.
In a gingham dress, she looks so sweet.
Oh, how I long for old Kentucky
And my darlin' once more to meet.
Well now, I know you often wonder,
So I'll tell you the reason why
She is my rose of old Kentucky,
And I know she'll never lie.
CHORUS. 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 still the day I die.
In a cabin, on the hill.
We made our vows we'd love each other,
And I hope we always will.
Often in my dreams I see my darlin'.
In a gingham dress, she looks so sweet.
Oh, how I long for old Kentucky
And my darlin' once more to meet.
Well now, I know you often wonder,
So I'll tell you the reason why
She is my rose of old Kentucky,
And I know she'll never lie.
CHORUS. 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 still the day I die.
