Lyrics
A greenhorn lad and a brand new bride
Off to make a claim and start a new life
They left Fort Pitt with wide blue eyes
A greenhorn lad and a brand new bride
Thirteen days on the Ohio
Bound for Kentucky with everything they own
The sun beats hot on a flat keelboat
For thirteen days on the Ohio
Four days out from the great falls
Anchored down at the Kanawha
He shot him a rabbit with his new flintlock
Built a big fire and threw it in a pot
That keelboat was found burnt coal black
The greenhorn dead with an arrow in his back
No signs of the bride just some moccasin tracks
That keelboat was found burnt coal black
