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 look towards Floyd's Knobs
 Where the afterglories blow
 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 not true
 Oh, but I cannot live without her
 For my heart's a boat in tow
 And I would give the world to know
 If she means to let me go
 As I sing the whole day through
 ♪
 Catarina, your lovely hair
 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 lengths 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 blue jays 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
