She bloom for me on a little village
In a cabin on the hill
We made our vows to love eachother
And I know we always will
(chorus)
She's my Crose of old KenGtucky
I watch her bloom as the years roll Dby
And I know there'll Gnever be anCother
I love her Dtill the day I Gdie
(break)
In my dreams I can see you, darling
In a gingham dress you look so neat
I long to feel your arms around me
And to kiss your lips so sweet
(chorus)
(break)
Since I left you in old Kentucky
I've missed your love and need you so
But from now on we're gonna be together
From your lovin' arms I'll never go
(chorus)
