Introdução:
A
I asked my love
A E
to take a walk
E
To take a walk,
E A
just a lit+tle walk
A
Down beside
A D
where the waters flow
D A
Down by the banks
E A
of the Ohio
And only say
that you'll be mine
In no o+thers' arms entwine
Down beside
where the waters flow
Down by the banks
of the Ohio
I held a knife
against his breast
As into
my arms he pressed
He cried "my love,
don't you murder me
I'm not prepared
for eternity
And only say
that you'll be mine
In no o+thers' arms entwine
Down beside
where the waters flow
Down by the banks
of the Ohio
I wandered home
tween twelve and one
I cried, "My God,
what have I done?"
I've killed the only man I love
He would not take me
for his bride
And only say
that you'll be mine
In no o+thers' arms entwine
Down beside
where the waters flow
Down by the banks
of the Ohio
Down by the banks
of the Ohio
