(Acapella) 
Up along the Ohio River 
Over on the old Kentucky shore 
     G                  D 
Once dwelt a fair young maiden 
              D        A      D     D 
Now there's a crepe up-on her door 
  D                D 
I walk down to the graveyard 
     G      C         D 
Down by the Church of God 
  G         C      D 
I looked up-on the one I love 
           D       A            D 
That would soon be covered with sod
