Hi, Skarpi-
I don't think we have the lyrics. Can you post them?
Thanks.

Here you go

From the sheet music at York University:

IN THE HILLS OF OLD KENTUCKY (MY MOUNTAIN ROSE)
Words by J. R. Shannon, music by Charles L. Johnson, ©1914.

1. There's a rose that grows in old Kentucky; she's the sweetest girl I know,
With eyes of blue, and manner too, that have made me love her so.
Where the lonely mountain trail is winding 'round my old Kentucky home,
To a simple old log cabin, that is where I soon will roam.

CHORUS: In the hills of old Kentucky where the birds sing merrily,
And the Southern breeze is playing thru the trees, that is where I long to be.
O'er the mountain trail I'm going, where my sweet wildflower grows,
In the hills of old Kentucky to my Mountain Rose.

2. In my dreams, I see the bluegrass waving and the meadowlarks at play.
They seem to call me back again to those hills so far away,
Where the winding trail is filled with sunshine, and the rhododendron grows,
Where the birds are ever singing to my own dear Mountain Rose.

still on it :>)

Hallo all , well here is the lyric with chords and I just listen ones through the video " fredkiller " did so I am not sure I am right 100%
so if you have something to Add please do so . I need more time to find out all those ( roses ) he do in the guitar :>))

In the hills of old Kentucky
( My Mountain Rose )

Intro : F , H7 , C , H7 , Dm , G7 , C .

C                   H7             C
There ´s a rose that grows in old Kentucky,
C                H7    C
She´s the sweetest girl I know
      G                C
With eyes of blue and manner too ,
          D7             G D G7
That have made me love her so
C                H7                C
Where the lonely mountain trail is winding,
               H7      C
round my old Kentucky home
C       D7            G
To a simble old log cabin ,
         D7                G D G7
that is where I soon will roam .

Chorus ?
C               H7       C
In the hills of old Kentucky ,
             G7       C
where the birds sing merrily
          F               C
And the southern breeze is playing thru the trees ,
             D7          G D G7
that is where- I belong to be
C                H7       C
O´er the mountain trail I´m going ,
          E                Am – G7
where my sweet wild flower grows
       F                C
In the hills of old Kentucky ,
Am       G7    C
to my mountain Rose .

so I have a feelin that I am not right but lets see ,

In my dreams I see the blue grass waving ,
and the meadow larks at play
They seem to call me back again to those hills far away ,
Where the winding trail is filled with sunshine and the Rhododendron grows
Where the birds are ever singing,
to my own dear Mountain Rose .

here is the last verse

All the best Skarpi Iceland

"H" is the same thing as "B flat", right? Many of us North Americans don't know that.

Well now that H7 had me scratching my head! Thanks Bob!
Skarpi, this song was recorded many, many years ago by Bradley Kincaid. I have that recording.
If you want to PM me with an e-mail address I would be happy to send you an mp3. I don't have the chords worked out but I think that he used a simple progression.

Skarpi, try downloading the file before you play it. Hopefully that should work.
