Intro - A5 B5 A5 B5

E5
When it's time from work to go
A5                E5
And in my boat I row
A5                E5
Cross the muddy Ohio
B5
When the evening light is falling
E5
And I looked towards Floyd's Knobs
A5                      E5
Where the afterglories glow
A5                  E5
And I dream on two bright eyes
B5                  E5
With a merry mouth below

A5                  E5
She's my beauteous Catarina
A5                  E5
She's my joy and sorrow too
A5                  E5
Though I know she is untrue
B5
Oh but I cannot live without her
E5
For my heart's a boat in tow
A5                          E5
And I would give the world to know
A5                  E5
If she means to let me go
B5                  E5
As I sing the whole day through

E5
Catarina, your lovely hair
A5                E5
Has more beauty, I declare
A5                E5
Than all the tresses there
B5
From Smoketown to Oldham County
E5
Be they black, red, gold or brown
A5                E5
Let them hang to lenghts below
A5                E5
They mean not as much to me
B5                E5
As a melting flake of snow

A5                E5
And her dance is like the gleam
A5                E5
Of the sunlight on the stream
A5                E5
And the screeching bluejays seem
B5
To form her name when screaming
E5
But my heart is full of woe
A5                E5
For last night she made me go
A5                E5
And the tears begin to flow
B5                E5
As I sing the whole day through

Repeat last verse (chorus).
