On the Old Kentucky Shore Lyrics & Tabs by Texas Lightning

On the Old Kentucky Shore

guitar chords lyrics

Texas Lightning

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'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
