Banks Of The Ohio

Intro: I asked my love, to take a walk. Take a walk a little way. And as we walked, and as we talked. Of when would be our wedding day. 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 asked her if, she'd marry me. And my bride forever be. She only turned, her head away. And had no other words to say. Chorus I plunged a knife, into her breast. And told her she was going to rest. She cried oh Willie, don't murder me. I'm not perpared for eternity. I took her by, her golden curls. And took her down to the riverside. There I pushed, her in to drown. And watched her as she floated down. Chorus I started home, between twelve and one. And cried oh Lord what have I done. I've killed the only, girl I love. Because she would not marry me. Chorus (I'm pretty sure that's the way that it goes. I might be missing a verse in there, but I think that that's how this version goes like.)
