[00:07.414]One of my fondest memories
[00:10.025]Was sittin' on my daddy's knee
[00:13.452]Listenin' to the stories that he told
[00:20.474]He'd pull out that old photograph
[00:23.616]Like a treasured memory from the past
[00:27.034]And say, "Child, this here's the Van Lear Rose"
[00:32.304]
[00:39.263]Oh how it would bring a smile
[00:42.667]When he talked about her big blue eyes
[00:46.032]And how her beauty ran down to her soul
[00:51.835]She'd walk across the coal miner's yard
[00:55.235]Them miners would yell loud and hard
[00:58.384]And they'd dream of who would hold the Van Lear Rose
[01:03.885]
[01:04.142]She was the belle of Johnson County, Ohio River to Big Sandy
[01:10.018]A beauty to behold like a diamond in the coal
[01:16.024]All the miners, they would gather round
[01:19.939]Talk about the man that came to town right under their nose
[01:25.942]Stole the heart of the Van Lear Rose
[01:29.616]
[01:39.179]Now the Van Lear Rose could've had her pick
[01:42.754]And all the fellers figured rich
[01:45.641]Until this poor boy caught her eye
[01:51.392]His buddies would all laugh and say
[01:54.816]"Your dreamin', boy, she'll never look your way
[01:58.434]You'll never ever hold the Van Lear Rose"
[02:03.417]
[02:04.174]She was the belle of Johnson County, Ohio River to Big Sandy
[02:09.685]A beauty to behold like a diamond in the coal
[02:15.966]All the miners, they would gather round
[02:19.899]Talk about the man that came to town right under their nose
[02:24.997]Stole the heart of the Van Lear Rose
[02:28.945]
[02:37.058]Then one night in mid-July
[02:39.161]Underneath that old blue Kentucky sky
[02:42.543]Well, that poor boy won that beauty's heart
[02:48.045]Then my daddy would look at my mommy and smile
[02:51.728]As he brushed the hair back from my eyes
[02:54.603]And he'd say, "Your mama, she's the Van Lear Rose"
[02:59.607]
[03:00.118]She was the belle of Johnson County, Ohio River to Big Sandy
[03:06.701]A beauty to behold like a diamond in the coal
[03:12.427]All the miners, they would gather round
[03:16.884]Talk about the man that came to town right under their nose
[03:22.332]Stole the heart of the Van Lear Rose
[03:25.230]
[03:26.778]Right under their nose
[03:29.132]Stole the heart of the Van Lear Rose
