Banks Of
The Ohio
(Traditional)
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
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
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the ohio
I held a
knife against her breast
As into my arms she pressed
She 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 girl i love
Because she would not be my bride
As into my arms she pressed
She 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 girl i love
Because she would not be my bride
