Lyrics
Ohio River Blues
Ain’t got no mountains
Ain’t got no sea
Ain’t got nobody in the world but me
And the Ohio River
the Ohio River
the Ohio River runs right through me
I can’t get home
my car won’t run
scared to fly and the trains don’t come
I’ll ride the Ohio River
the Ohio River
the Ohio River runs right through me
lost my money at the racing track
I seen horses and greyhounds
Can’t none of them catch the Ohio River
the Ohio River
the Ohio River runs right through me
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or more
times I done crossed on over the Ohio River
the Ohio River
the Ohio River runs right through me
