Intro - A B A B
E
When it's time from work to go
A E
And in my boat I row
A E
Cross the muddy Ohio
B
When the evening light is falling
E
And I looked towards Floyd's Knobs
A E
Where the afterglories glow
A E
And I dream on two bright eyes
B E
With a merry mouth below
A E
She's my beauteous Catarina
A E
She's my joy and sorrow too
A E
Though I know she is untrue
B
Oh but I cannot live without her
E
For my heart's a boat in tow
A E
And I would give the world to know
A E
If she means to let me go
B E
As I sing the whole day through
Electric solo - A B A B
E
Catarina, your lovely hair
A E
Has more beauty, I declare
A E
Than all the tresses there
B
From Smoketown to Oldham County
E
Be they black, red, gold or brown
A E
Let them hang to lenghts below
A E
They mean not as much to me
B E
As a melting flake of snow
A E
And her dance is like the gleam
A E
Of the sunlight on the stream
A E
And the screeching bluejays seem
B
To form her name when screaming
E
But my heart is full of woe
A E
For last night she made me go
A E
And the tears begin to flow
B E
As I sing the whole day through
Repeat last verse (chorus).
