My Little Georgia Rose

Bill Monroe

Verse 1

G
Now come and listen to my story
D
A story that I know is true
G
A little rose who bloomed in Georgia
D                                G
With hair of gold and a heart so true

Chorus

C                          G
Way down in the blue ridge mountains
D
Way down where the tall pines grow
G                          C
Lives my sweetheart of the mountains
G        D              G
She's my little Georgia rose

Verse 2

G
Her mother left her with another
D
A carefree life she had planned
G
The baby now is a lady
D                           G
The one her mother couldn't stand

(Chorus)

Verse 3

G
We often sing love songs together
D
I watched her do her little part
G
She smiled at me when I would tell her
D                    G
That she was my sweetheart
