I asked my love to take a walk just to walk a little ways
|
As we talked about our future wedding day
|
And when she told me she would never be mine
|
I placed a knife against her breast as into my arms she pressed
|
She cried oh please don't murder me I'm not prepared for eternity
|
Only say that you'll be mine in no other's arms entwined
|
Down beside where the waters flow down by the banks of the Ohio
|
|
I started home between twelve and one I cried my God what have I done
|
I've murdered the only girl I loved because she would not be my bride
|
Only say that you'll be mine...
