Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Ohio river boat song

^EWhen it's time from work to go ^AAnd in my boat I ^Erow ^ACross the muddy O^Ehio ^BWhen the evening light is falling ^EAnd I looked towards Floyd's Knobs ^AWhere the afterglories ^Eglow ^AAnd I dream on two ^Ebright eyes ^BWith a merry mouth ^Ebelow

^AShe's my beauteous ^ECatarina ^AShe's my joy and so^Errow too ^AThough I know she i^Es untrue ^BOh but I cannot live without her ^EFor my heart's a boat in tow ^AAnd I would give the world ^Eto know ^AIf she means to let^E me go ^BAs I sing the whole^E day through

^ECatarina, your lovely hair ^AHas more beauty, ^EI declare ^AThan all the tres^Eses there ^BFrom Smoketown to Oldham County ^EBe they black, red, gold or brown ^ALet them hang to ^Elenghts below ^AThey mean not as ^Emuch to me ^BAs a melting flak^Ee of snow

^AAnd her dance is ^Elike the gleam ^AOf the sunlight o^En the stream ^AAnd the screechin^Eg bluejays seem ^BTo form her name when screaming ^EBut my heart is full of woe ^AFor last night sh^Ee made me go ^AAnd the tears beg^Ein to flow ^BAs I sing the who^Ele day through
