Couplet
I asked my Glove, to take a Dwalk
Take a walk, just a Glittle ways,
And as we walked, along we Ctalked
Of when would Gbe, D our wedding Gday.
Refrain
And only Gsay, that you'll be Dmine,
In no others arms entwiGned,
Down beside where the waters Cflow,
Down by the Gbanks Dof the OGhio.
Couplet
I asked her Gif she'd marry Dme,
And my wife forever Gbe,
She only turned her head aCway
And had no GoDther words to Gsay.
Refrain
Couplet
I plunged a Gknife into her Dbreast,
And told her she was going to Grest,
She cried 'Oh Willie, don't murder Cme,
I'm not Gprepared Dfor eterniGty.'
I took her Gby her golden Dcurls,
And drug her down to the riverGside,
And there I pushed her into Cdrown,
And I watched her Gas Dshe floated Gdown.
Refrain
Couplet
And going Ghome between twelve and Done,
And cried 'Oh Lord, What have I Gdone,
I've killed the only girl I Clove,
Because she Gwould Dnot marry Gme.
