The White Stripes - Van Lear Rose

COne of my fondest memories
Was sGittin' on my daddy's knee
CListenin' to the stories that he told
He pulled out that old photograph
Like a trGeasured memory from the past, and said
"ChCild, this Cis the Van Lear RCose"

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:
She was the bGelle of Johnson county
Ohio rCiver to Big Sandy
А bCeauty to behold like a dCiamond in the coal
All the mGiners they would gather 'round
And tCalk about the man that came to town
RCight under their nose stole
the heart of the Van Lear RCose

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
