1
I asked my love to take a walk
2
To take a walk, just a little walk
3
Down beside where the waters flow
4
Down by the banks of the old Ohio
5
And only say that you'll be mine
6
In no others arms entwine
7
Down beside where the waters flow
8
Down by the banks of the old Ohio
9
I held a knife against her breast
10
As into my arms she pressed
11
She cried, "Oh Willie, don't murder me
12
I'm not prepared for eternity"
13
And only say that you'll be mine
14
In no others arms entwine
15
Down beside where the waters flow
16
Down by the banks of the old Ohio
17
I started home between twelve and one
18
I cried, "My God, what have I done?
19
Killed the only woman I loved
20
Because she would not be my bride"
21
And only say that you'll be mine
22
In no others arms entwine
23
Down beside where the waters flow
24
Down by the banks of the old Ohio
