Ohio Riverboat 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 glow
And I dream on two bright eyes
To the merry mouth below
She's my beauteous Catarina
She's my joy and sorrow too
And I know she is untrue
Oh, 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
Catarina your lovely hair
Has more beauty, I declare
From all the tresses there
From Smoketown to Oldham County
Be they black, red, gold or brown
Let them hang from lengths below
They mean not as much to me
As a melting flake of snow
And her dance is like the beam
Of the sunlight on the seam
And the screeching bluejays seem
To form her name while screaming
For my heart is full of woe
For last night she made me go
And the tears began to flow
As I sang the whole day through
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 glow
And I dream on two bright eyes
To the merry mouth below
She's my beauteous Catarina
She's my joy and sorrow too
And I know she is untrue
Oh, 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
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 glow
And I dream on two bright eyes
To the merry mouth below
She's my beauteous Catarina
She's my joy and sorrow too
And I know she is untrue
Oh, 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
Catarina your lovely hair
Has more beauty, I declare
From all the tresses there
From Smoketown to Oldham County
Be they black, red, gold or brown
Let them hang from lengths below
They mean not as much to me
As a melting flake of snow
And her dance is like the beam
Of the sunlight on the seam
And the screeching bluejays seem
To form her name while screaming
For my heart is full of woe
For last night she made me go
And the tears began to flow
As I sang the whole day through
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 glow
And I dream on two bright eyes
To the merry mouth below
She's my beauteous Catarina
She's my joy and sorrow too
And I know she is untrue
Oh, 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
