Banks Of The Ohio

歌詞

I asked my love to take a walk Just to walk a little ways And as we walked along we talked All about our wedding day Only 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 dragged her down that bank of sand There I threw her in to drown I watched her as she floated down Returning home between twelve and one Thinking of what a deed I'd done I'd killed the girl I loved you see Because she would not marry me The very next day about half passed four The sheriff's men knocked at my door He said young man come now and go Down to the banks of the Ohio
