Banks of the Ohio
I asked my love to take a walk,
Just a little way's with me.
An' as we walked,
Then we would talk
All about our wedding day.
Chorus:
And Darling say, that you'll be mine;
In our home we'll happy be,
Down beside where the waters flow,
On the banks of the Ohio."
I took her by her lily white hand,
I led her down the banks of sand,
I plunged her in, where she would drown,
And watched her as she floated down.
Repeat Chorus
Returning home between twelve and one,
Thinking Lord, what have I done?
I'd killed the girl I love, you see,
Because she would not marry me.
Repeat Chorus
The very next day, at half past four,
The sheriff walked right to my door;
He says, "Young man, don't try to run.
You'll pay for this awful crime you've done."
Repeat Chorus
