Lyrics

[00:05.070] I asked my love to take a walk
[00:11.000] To take a walk just a little walk
[00:16.890] Down beside where the waters flow
[00:21.890] Down by the banks of the old Ohio
[00:27.510] And only say that you'll be mine
[00:33.180] And no other arms entwine
[00:39.110] Down beside where the waters flow
[00:44.110] Down by the banks of the old Ohio
[00:52.380] I held a knife against her brest
[00:58.330] As into my arms she pressed
[01:03.440] She cried oh Willie don't murder me
[01:08.650] I'm not prepeared for eternity
[01:14.280] And only say that you'll be mine
[01:20.150] And no others arms entwine
[01:25.860] Down beside where the waters flow
[01:30.740] Down by the banks of the old Ohio
[01:39.210] I took a walk just a little walk
[01:44.940] I cried my god what have I done
[01:50.740] I killed the only woman I loved
[01:56.100] Because she would not be my bride
[02:01.810] And only say that you'll be mine
[02:07.550] And no other arms entwine
[02:13.200] Down beside where the waters flow
[02:18.340] Down by the banks of the old Ohio
[02:23.820] Down by the banks of the old Ohio
