My buddy and I while walking one night
With a jug of wine in the snow
We missed our train
Oh what a shame
But sometimes that's just how it goes
With the snow falling light on a February night
In the shimmering riverboats glow
Tonight I will rest a riverside guest
It's a sure old place that I know
Midnight on the Ohio
Along with the barges we roam
With the spotlights shining on the shore
To look for a place for the night to call home
Midnight on the Ohio
Midnight on the Ohio
Along with the barges we roam
With the spotlights shining on the shore
To look for a place for the night to call home
And we'll pass the jug as the tugboats tug
And we're here for the night once more
Midnight on the Ohio
