Sweet kentucky rose
You're always in his heart
He dreams about you every day


Sweet kentucky rose
He's sorry you're apart

He never should have gone away

[chorus]

He'll be coming back
To hold you once again
And settle where the bluegrass grows


[refrain]
He'll build a little home

Then he will never roam
From his sweet kentucky rose


He dreams about you every day

He never should have gone away


[repeat chorus]


[repeat refrain]
