Banks of the Ohio

(D) I asked my love to take a (A7) walk
Take a walk just a little (D) way
and as we walked and as we (G) talked
all (D) about our (A7) wedding (D) day

And only say that you'll be (A7) mine
In our home we'll happy (D) be
Down beside where the waters (G) flow
Down by the (D) banks of the (A7) Ohi (D) o

I held a knife up to her (A7) breast
as deep into my arms she (D) pressed
She cried "Oh Willy don't murder (G) me
I'm not pre (D) pared for (A7) eterni (D) ty"

And only say that you'll be (A7) mine
In no other's arms en (D) twine
Down beside where the waters (G) flow
Down by the (D) banks of the (A7) Ohi (D) o

I took her by her lily white (A7) hand
Led her down that bank of (D) sand
There I pushed her in to (G) drown
and I (D) watched as (A7) she went (D) down

And only say that you'll be (A7) mine
In no other's arms en (D) twine
Down beside where the waters (G) flow
Down by the (D) banks of the (A7) Ohi (D) o

I started home 'tween twelve and (A7) one
Cried "My God what have I (D) done?"
Killed the only girl I (G) love
because (D) she would not (A7) be my (D) bride

And only say that you'll be (A7) mine
In no other's arms en (D) twine
Down beside where the waters (G) flow
Down by the (D) banks of the (A7) Ohi (D) o
