On The Old Kentucky Shore Lyrics

Chorus:�

Up along the Ohio River�
Over on the old Kentucky shore�
Once dwelt a fair young maiden�
Now there's a crepe upon her door�

I walk down to the graveyard�
Down by the Church of God�
I looked upon the one I love�
That would soon be covered with sod�

Repeat Chorus�

The angels took my darlin'�
God needed the one I love�
I reached the old Kentucky shore too late�
I'll make my plans and meet her up above�

The last words that my darling spoke�
Was tell the one I love goodbye�
I'd like to see him before I go�
But I'll meet him in the sky�

Repeat Chorus
