Ricky Skaggs - On the Old Kentucky Shore lyrics

I walked down to the grave yard Down by the church of God I looked upon the one I love That will soon be covered with sod. Up along the Ohio River Over on the old Kentucky shore Once dwelt a fair young maiden Now there's a crepe upon her door. The angels took my darlin' God needed the one I love I reached the old Kentucky shore today I'll make my plans and meet her up above. The last word that my darlin' 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...
