C G7 C
I asked my love, to take a walk, to take a walk, just a little walk.
C7 F C G7 C
Down beside where the waters flow, down by the banks of the Ohio.
C G7
And only say, that you'll be mine.
C
In no others arms entwine.
C7 F
Down beside where the waters flow,
C G7 C
down by the banks of the Ohio.
I held a knife against her breast, as into my arms she pressed.
Willie, oh Willie, don't murder me, I'm not prepared for eternity.
And only say, that you'll be mine....
I started home 'twixt tvvelve and one, crying my god, what have I done?
Killed the only woman I loved, because she would not be my bride.
And only say, that you'll be mine....
