Lyrics
Ohio River Waltz
11/9/02
Intro- 1/2 of verse
Take me back to the Ohio River
Take me back to the banks once more
Where the riverboat's song, bellowed along
As we waltzed arm in arm on the shore
Take me back to the Ohio River
Muddy waters, I'll see you soon
I've rambled and roamed, but I'm headed back home
To the Ohio River and you.
1/2 of verse
Take me back to the Ohio River
Take me back to my Rabbit Hash days
When we'd sip PBR at the General Store bar
While Terry cooked beans on the range
Take me back to the Ohio River
Where we paddled along by canoe
I've rambled and roamed, but I'm headed back home
To the Ohio River and you.
I recall Coney Island days with you
At night we'd listen to Ma Crow sing them California Blues
Take me back, take me back, river breeze blow me back
I've rambled and roamed, but I'm headed back home
To the Ohio River and you.
Full instrumental verse
