Across the Ohio

Across the Ohio

 Written by Dale Farmer, 2009

 Fare you well Kentucky girl my time has come to go

 I’m going to make my living there, across the Ohio

 Across the Ohio, Across the Ohio

 I’m going to make my living there

 Across the Ohio

 Well goodbye to you mountain boy I wish you wouldn’t go

 I pray that you’ll return for me, across the Ohio

 Across the Ohio, across the Ohio

 I pray that you’ll return for me, across the Ohio

 Mother dear and Daddy too you know I’ll miss you so

 But one day I will send for you across the Ohio

 Across the Ohio, Across the Ohio

 One day I will send for you across the Ohio

 We’ll pray for you our only son when from these hills you go

 But we could never leave our home across the Ohio

 Across the Ohio, Across the Ohio

 We could never leave our home across the Ohio

 With one last look at my old home my spirit’s sinking low

 These hills will always be with me across the Ohio

 Across the Ohio, Across the Ohio

 These hills will always be with me across the Ohio

 They say on yonder’s side of where those muddy waters flow

 A man can make a dollar a day across the Ohio

 Across the Ohio, Across the Ohio

 A man can make a Dollar a day across the Ohio
