Album: Songs of Love and Horror
When it's time from work to go,
and in my boat I row
'Cross the muddy Ohio
when the evening light is falling
And I looked towards Floyd's Knobs
where the afterglories flow
And I dream on two bright eyes
with a merry mouth below
She's my beauteous Catarina,
she's my joy and sorrow too
Though I know she is untrue,
ah, but I cannot live without her
For my heart's a boat in tow,
and I'd give the world to know
If she means to let me go,
as I sing the whole day through
Catarina your lovely hair,
has more beauty I declare
Than all the tresses there
from Smoketown to Oldham County
Be they black, red, gold or brown,
let them hang to lenghts below
They mean not as much to me,
as a melting flake of snow
And her dance is like the gleam,
of the sunlight on the stream
And the screeching bluejays seem,
to form her name when screaming
But my heart is full of woe,
for last night she made me go
And the tears begin to flow,
as I sing the whole day through
