The Banks Of The Ohio Lyrics

	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.
