Testo di On The Old Kentucky Shore

I walked out to the graveyard Down by the Church of God I looked upon the one I love That would soon be covered with sod Up along the Ohio River Over on the old Kentucky shore Once dwelled a fair young maiden Now there's a crepe upon her door The angels took my darling God needed the one I loved I reached the old Kentucky shore today I'll make my plans and meet her up above The last words that my darling said Was tell the one I love goodbye I would like to see him before I go But I'll meet him in the sky
