"Banks Of The Ohio" lyrics

Oh my love, lets take a walk
Just a little ways
While we'll walk along we'll talk
All about our wedding day

Only say that you'll be mine
And in our home, we'll happy be
Down beside where the waters flow
Down on the banks of the Ohio

I drew my knife across her throat
And to my breast, she gently pressed
"Oh please, oh please don't murder me
For I'm unprepared to die you see."

I too her by her lilly white hand
I led her down and I made her stand
There I plunged her into drown
And watched her as she floated down

Only say that you'll be mine
And in our home, we'll happy be
Down beside where the waters flow
Down on the banks of the Ohio
