Banks Of The Ohio - Bill Monroe
|
|
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 other's arms entwine
|
Down beside where the waters flow
|
Down by the banks of the Ohio
|
|
I held a knife against her brest
|
As into my arms she pressed
|
She cried, "Oh, Willie, don't murder me,
|
I'm not prepared for eternity"
|
|
* Refrain
|
|
I started home 'tween twelve and one
|
I cried, "My God! what have I done ?
|
Killed the only woman I loved
|
Because she would not be my bride"
|
|
* Refrain
