Bonnie "Prince" Billy – Ohio River Boat Song (Guitar)

E
When it's time from work to go

A                E
And in my boat I row

A                E
Cross the muddy Ohio

B
When the evening light is falling

E
And I looked towards Floyd's Knobs

A                      E
Where the afterglories glow

A                  E
And I dream on two bright eyes

B                  E
With a merry mouth below

A                  E
She's my beauteous Catarina

A                  E
She's my joy and sorrow too

A                  E
Though I know she is untrue

B
Oh but I cannot live without her

E
For my heart's a boat in tow

A                          E
And I would give the world to know

A                  E
If she means to let me go

B                  E
As I sing the whole day through

E
Catarina, your lovely hair

A                E
Has more beauty, I declare

A                E
Than all the tresses there

B
From Smoketown to Oldham County

E
Be they black, red, gold or brown

A                E
Let them hang to lenghts below

A                E
They mean not as much to me

B                E
As a melting flake of snow

A                E
And her dance is like the gleam

A                E
Of the sunlight on the stream

A                E
And the screeching bluejays seem

B
To form her name when screaming

E
But my heart is full of woe

A                E
For last night she made me go

A                E
And the tears begin to flow

B                E
As I sing the whole day through
