My Rose Of Old Kentucky

Bill Monroe

Key of G · Chords: I IV V

Verse 1

G                                C
She bloomed for me near a little village
G                 D    G
In a cabin on the hill
G
We made our vows we’d love each other
G                    D    G
And I know we always will

Chorus

C                       G
She’s my rose of old Kentucky
D
I watched her bloom as the years roll by
G                            C
And to me there’ll never be another
G                      D     G
I’ll love her ’til the day I die

Verse 2

G
Oh in dreams I see my darling
C                      G        D     G
In a gingham dress she looks so sweet
G
Oh I long for old Kentucky
G                  D       G
And my darling was more to me

(Chorus)

Verse 3

G
Oh I know you often wonder So I’ll tell you the reason why
C                       G                       D     G
She’s my rose of old Kentucky And I know she’ll never lie
