Banks Of The Ohio

歌詞

I asked my love to take a walk Just a little ways with me And as we walked and we would talk All about our weddingday 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 pretty white hand I let her down that bank of sand I pushed her in where she would drown Lord, I saw her as she floated down 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 Returning home about twelve or one Thinking "Lord, what a deed I've done?" I killed the girl I love, you see Because she would not marry me 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 The very next day at half past four The sherrif walked right to my door And he says "Young man, don't you try to run You'll pay for this awful crime you've done" 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
