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 asked her if she’d marry me |
| And my wife forever be |
| She only turned her head away |
| And had no other words to say |
| 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 took her by her lilywhite hands |
| I drug her down to the golden sands |
| An I there threw her into drown |
| And I watched her as she floated down |
| 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 |
| well the very next morn |
| bout half past four |
| sheriff’s men knocked at my door |
| saying now young man |
| time to go down to the banks of the ohio |
