Banks Of The Ohio şarkı sözleri

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 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 Ohio I held a knife against her brest As into my arms she pressed She cried, "Oh, Willie, don't murder me, I'm not prepared for eternity" * Refrain 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" * Refrain
