Banks Of The Ohio (Remastered 2022)

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 (where waters flow) Down by the banks of the Ohio (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 other's arms entwine Down beside where the waters flow (where waters flow) Down by the banks of the Ohio (the Ohio) I wandered home 'tween 12 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 other's arms entwine Down beside, where the waters flow (where waters flow) Down by the banks of the Ohio (the Ohio) Down by the banks of the Ohio
