I'm waiting to his prison cell
|
To write his story if he'd tell
|
He spoke and tears fell from his eyes
|
And he told me when and where and why
|
And he said:I asked my love to take a walk
|
Just to walk a little
|
And as we walked,then we could talk
|
About our future wedding day
|
But when she said she couldn't be mine
|
Well I held a knife against her breast
|
Asking to my arms as she pressed
|
She cried:My love,don't murder me
|
Cause I'm not a pair for eternity
|
They only say that you be mine
|
And in your world is arms and crime
|
Then decide where the waters flows
|
Down by the banks of the Ohio
|
|
I started it home to'
|
I cried my girl'
|
I killed the one I loved too much
|
Because she would not be my bride
|
We'll only say that you'll mine
|
And in your world is arms and crime
|
Down decide where the water flows
|
Down by the banks of the Ohio
|
Down by the banks of the Ohio
|
|
Sing my song,Lord ,sing my song
|
Then decide where the water flows
|
Down by the banks of the Ohio
|
