The Falls of the Ohio

I know I could wait

Down at the falls

But I don't want to go

If you don't follow

I could find the perfect stone

To skip across the water

But if no one sees it soar

Who's to say it didn't falter

And I could write the perfect words

And read them all back by rote

But if no one shares the reading

They're just the musings of a ghost

So we'll take our time ramblin'

Through the dogwoods and the oaks

And we'll meet down at the falls

Of the Ohio

Down at the Falls of the Ohio

Down at the Falls of the Ohio

Down at the Falls of the Ohio

And I know you could wait

Down at the falls

But I don't want you to go

If I can't follow

You could find the perfect rose

To place behind your ear

But if it wilts alone in silence

Who'd be the one to shed the tear

And you could hum the perfect tune

That would drift on through the valley

But if no one's there to hear it

It's just some wind amongst the trees

So we'll take our time ramblin'

Through the dogwoods and the oaks

And we'll meet down at the falls

Of the Ohio

Down at the Falls of the Ohio

Down at the Falls of the Ohio

Down at the Falls of the Ohio
