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 A7wedding Gday
Refrain
DDarling say that you'll be A7mine
In our home we'll happy Dbe
Down beside where the waters Gflow
GOn the Dbanks of the A7Ohio 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
Refrain
Couplet
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
Refrain
Couplet
The very next day at half past four
The sheriff 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"
