Johnny Cash's version sticks fairly closely to Jimmie Rodgers' version (above). THE ONE ROSE (THAT'S LEFT IN MY HEART) As recorded by Johnny Cash on "American II: Unchained" (1996), and "Unearthed" (2003). So blue, lonesome, too, But still true. Rosie haunts me, Makes me think of you. You're the one rose that's left in my heart, dear. I love you, adore you, I do. Each night in Dreamland we wander alone, Telling love's story anew. When from a blue sky a black cloud came rolling, Breaking my heart in two. Oh, we ought not to part; I have said from the start, You're the one rose that's left in my heart.
