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

C
When it's time from work to go

F                C
And in my boat I row

F                C
Cross the muddy Ohio

G
When the evening light is falling

C
And I looked towards Floyd's Knobs

F                      C
Where the afterglories glow

F                  C
And I dream on two bright eyes

G                  C
With a merry mouth below

F                  C
She's my beauteous Catarina

F                  C
She's my joy and sorrow too

F                  C
Though I know she is untrue

G
Oh but I cannot live without her

C
For my heart's a boat in tow

F                          C
And I would give the world to know

F                  C
If she means to let me go

G                  C
As I sing the whole day through

C
Catarina, your lovely hair

F                C
Has more beauty, I declare

F                C
Than all the tresses there

G
From Smoketown to Oldham County

C
Be they black, red, gold or brown

F                C
Let them hang to lenghts below

F                C
They mean not as much to me

G                C
As a melting flake of snow

F                C
And her dance is like the gleam

F                C
Of the sunlight on the stream

F                C
And the screeching bluejays seem

G
To form her name when screaming

C
But my heart is full of woe

F                C
For last night she made me go

F                C
And the tears begin to flow

G                C
As I sing the whole day through
