G One of my fondest memories C Was sittin' on my daddy's knee G Listenin' to the stories that he told He pulled out that old photograph C Like a treasured memory from the past, and said G D G "Child, this is the Van Lear Rose" Now, the Van Lear Rose coulda had her pick And all the fellas figured rich Until this poor boy caught her eye The fellas would all laugh and say "You're dreaming boy, she'll never look your way You'll never, ever own the Van Lear Rose" Припев: C She was the belle of Johnson county G Ohio river to Big Sandy D G А beauty to behold like a diamond in the coal C All the miners they would gather 'round G And talk about the man that came to town D Right under their nose stole G the heart of the Van Lear Rose Then one night in mid-July Underneath that old blue Kentucky sky Well, that poor boy won that beauty's heart Then my daddy would look at my mommy and smile as he brushed the hair back from my eyes and he'd say "Your mama, she's the Van Lear Rose" Припев Right under their nose stole the heart of the Van Lear Rose | ТональностьСбросить Размер шрифтаСбросить Аппликатуры аккордовC D G |
