One of my fondest memories Was sittin' on my daddy's knee Listenin' to the stories that he told He'd pull out that old photograph Like a treasured memory from the past And say child This here's the Van Lear Rose Oh how it would bring a smile When he talked about her big blue eyes And how her beauty ran down to her soul She'd walk across the coal miner's yard Them miner's would yell loud and hard And they'd dream of who would hold The Van Lear Rose She was the belle of Johnson County Ohio river to Big Sandy A beauty to behold like a diamond in the coal All the miner's they would gather 'round Talk about the man that came to town Right under their nose Stole the heart of the Van Lear Rose Now the Van Lear Rose could've had her pick And all the fellers figured rich Until this poor boy caught her eye His buddies would all laugh and say Your dreamin' boy she'll never look your way You'll never ever hold the Van Lear Rose She was the belle of Johnson County Ohio river to Big Sandy A beauty to behold like a diamond in the coal All the miner's they would gather 'round Talk about the man that came to town Right under their nose Stole the heart of the Van Lear Rose Then one night in mid July Underneath that ol' 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 She was the belle of Johnson County Ohio river to Big Sandy A beauty to behold like a diamond in the coal All the miner's they would gather 'round Talk about the man that came to town Right under their nose Stole the heart of the Van Lear Rose Right under their nose Stole the heart of the Van Lear Rose
