Girl of the Ohio

from Hilo by Brother Joshua

/

lyrics

Here I stand on the riverside, oh oh oh
Here I stand on the riverside, oh oh oh

Watch my body go floating by, oh oh oh
Watch my body go floating by, oh oh oh

oh oh oh

Branches limp from silent trees, oh oh oh
Birds pass mournfully for me, oh oh oh
I reach my hand into the stream, oh oh oh
But my hand won’t cling to anything, oh oh oh

Find a rope
Pull me in
Wash the mud from my lily skin

Kiss my brow
Comb my hair
Lift my soul into the air, oh oh oh

Mother, say a prayer for me, oh oh oh
Sister, play your tambourine, oh oh oh
Father, sing a song for me, oh oh oh
Capo 3 in the key of G, oh oh oh
