Banks Of The Ohio |
My love asked me, to take a walk |
Just to walk, a little way |
And as we walked along we talked |
Of when would be our wedding day |
We walked beneath the whispering pines |
His heart was filled with love divine |
And as we neared the riverside |
He asked me when I’d be his bride |
Oh no your bride, I’ll never be |
Another one’s prepared for me |
And as I drew my hand from his |
His heart was filled with fire divine |
He drew his knife across my breast |
And in his arms I gently pressed |
Willy dear, don’t murder me |
For I am not prepared to die |
He took me by my golden curls |
He drug me down to the riverside |
And as he threw me into drown |
He watched me as I floated down |
He started home 'tween twelve and one |
Thinking on the deed he’d done |
Murdered just the one he loved |
Because I would not be his bride |
