Ricky Skaggs & Joan Osborne
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...
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...
