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
