(Acapella) Up along the Ohio River Over on the old Kentucky shore Once dwelt a fair young maiden Now there's a crepe up-on her door I walk down to the graveyard Down by the Church of God I looked up-on 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 up-on her door Instrumental Verse 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 up-on her door Outro or acapella Now there's a crepe up-on her door
