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 old ohio
|
And only say that you'll be mine
|
In no others arns entwine
|
Down beside
|
where the waters flow
|
Down by the banks
|
of the old ohio
|
I held a knife against her brest
|
As into my aems she pressed
|
She ceied
|
Oh willie don't murder me
|
I'm not prepeared 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 old ohio
|
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
|
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 old ohio
|
