On the Old Kentucky Shore Lyrics

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
