I asked my love to take a walk 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 entwined
|
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 pretend for eternity
|
And only say that you'll be mine...
|
|
I wandered home between twelve and one I cried my God what have I done
|
I've killed the only one I loved because he would not take me for his bride
|
And only say that you'll be mine...
