Paroles
I asked my love to take a walk to take a walk
Just a little walk down
Beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
And only say that you'll be mine
In no others arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow (where the waters flow)
Down by the banks of the Ohio (the Ohio).
I held knife against his breast
As into my arms he pressed
Cried my love don't you murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity.
I wandered home tween twelve and one I
Cried my God what have I done killed
The only man I love
He would not take me for his bride.
