The Banks Of The Ohio - Olivia Newton John
|
|
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"
|
|
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 wandered home 'tween twelve and one
|
|
I cried, "My God, what have I done?"
|
|
I've killed the only woman 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
