Banks Of The Ohio
Ton : DEnglish
DI asked my love to take a A7walk
Just a little ways with Dme
And as we walked and we would Gtalk
GAll Dabout our weddA7ingdaGy
Chorus
DDarling say that you'll be mA7ine
In our home we'll happy bDe
Down beside where the waters fGlow
OGn the bDanks of the OA7hio D
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
Chorus
(Refrain)
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
Chorus
(Refrain)
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"
Chorus
(Refrain)
