[Verse 1]
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"
[Verse 2]
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 miners would yell loud and hard
And they'd dream of who would hold the Van Lear Rose
[Chorus]
She was the belle of Johnson County
Ohio River to Big Sandy
A beauty to behold
Like a diamond in the coal
All the miners, they would gather 'round
To talk about the man that came to town
Right under their nose
Stole the heart of the Van Lear Rose
