Texas Lightning - On The Old Kentucky Shore lyrics

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 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 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 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
