Old Kentucky Shore

	  		
 
 

(Acapella) 
Up along the Ohio River 
Over on the old Kentucky shore 
     G                  D 
Once dwelt a fair young maiden 
              D        A      D     D 
Now there's a crepe up-on her door 
  D                D 
I walk down to the graveyard 
     G      C         D 
Down by the Church of God 
  G         C      D 
I looked up-on the one I love 
           D       A            D 
That would soon be covered with sod 

    D 
Up along the Ohio River 
     G                   D 
Over on the old Kentucky shore 
     G       C          D 
Once dwelt a fair young maiden 
              D        A      D 
Now there's a crepe up-on her door

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

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

Now there's a crepe up-on her door
