1
One of my fondest memories
2
Was sittin' on my daddy's knee
3
Listenin' to the stories that he told
4
He'd pull out that old photograph
5
Like a treasured memory from the past
6
And say child
7
This here's the Van Lear Rose
8
Oh how it would bring a smile
9
When he talked about her big blue eyes
10
And how her beauty ran down to her soul
11
She'd walk across the coal miner's yard
12
Them miner's would yell loud and hard
13
and they'd dream of who would hold
14
The Van Lear Rose
15
Chours:
16
She was the belle of Johnson County
17
Ohio river to Big Sandy
18
A beauty to behold like a diamond in the coal
19
All the miner's they would gather 'round
20
Talk about the man that came to town
21
Right under their nose
22
Stole the heart of the Van Lear Rose
23
Now the Van Lear Rose could've had her pick
24
And all the fellers figured rich
25
Until this poor boy caught her eye
26
His buddies would all laugh and say
27
Your dreamin' boy she'll never look your way
28
You'll never ever hold the Van Lear Rose
29
Chours
30
Then one night in mid July
31
Underneath that ol' blue Kentucky sky
32
Well, that poor boy won that beauty's heart
33
Then my daddy would look at my mommy and smile
34
As he brushed the hair back from my eyes and he'd say
35
Your mama
36
She's the Van Lear Rose
37
Chours
38
Right under their nose
39
Stole the heart of the Van Lear Rose
