Banks of the Ohio |
| I asked my love to take a walk |
| To take a walk, just a little walk |
| Down beside where the waters flow |
| Down by the banks of the Ohio |
| And only say that you’ll be mine |
| In no others' arms entwine |
| Down beside where the waters flow |
| Down by the banks of the Ohio |
| I held a knife against his breast |
| As into my arms he pressed |
| He cried «my love, don’t you murder me |
| I’m not prepared for eternity» |
| I wandered home 'tween twelve and one |
| I cried, «My God, what have I done?» |
| I’ve killed the only man I love |
| He would not take me for his bride |
| And only say that you’ll be mine |
| In no others' arms entwine |
| Down beside where the waters flow |
| Down by the banks of the Ohio |
