The Banks Of Ohio
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 OTHER'S ARMS ENTWINE,
DOWN BESIDE WHERE THE WATERS FLOW,
DOWN BY THE BANKS OF THE old old OHIO.
I HELD A KNIFE AGAINST HER BREAST
AS INO MY ARMS SHE PRESSED,
SHE CRIED, "OH, WAIT, DON`T MURDER ME,
I`M NOT PREPEARED FOR ETERNITY."
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 old OHIO
I STARTED HOME `TWIXT 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 OTHER'S ARMS ENTWINE,
DOWN BESIDE WHERE THE WATERS FLOW,
DOWN BY THE BANKS OF THE OHIO.
