Ohio River Boat Song

When it's time from work to go
 And in my boat I row
 Cross the muddy Ohio
 When the evening light is falling
 And I looked towards Floyd's Knobs
 Where the afterglories glow
 And I dream on two bright eyes
 With a merry mouth below
 She's my beauteous Catarina
 She's my joy and sorrow too
 Though I know she is untrue
 Ah but I cannot live without her
 For my heart's a boat in tow
 And I'd give the world to know
 If she means to let me go
 As I sing the whole day through
 Well, Catarina your lovely hair
 It has more beauty I declare
 Than all the tresses there
 From Smoketown to Oldham County
 Be they black, red, gold or brown
 Let them hang to lenghts below
 They mean not as much to me
 As a melting flake of snow
 And her dance is like the gleam
 Of the sunlight on the stream
 And the screeching bluejays seem
 To form her name when screaming
 But my heart is full of woe
 For last night she made me go
 And the tears begin to flow
 As I sing the whole day through
