Joan Osborne - On The Old Kentucky Shore Lyrics


Joan Osborne Lyrics

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
