Orig.: G
G D7
I asked my love to take a walk
D G
Just to walk a little way
G7 C
And as we walked, along we talked
G D7 G
Of when would be our wedding day
G D7
And only say that you'll be mine
D G
In no others arms entwined
G7 C
Down beside where the waters flow
G D7 G
Down by the banks of the Ohio
G D7
I plunged a knife into her breast
D G
And I told her she was going to rest
G7 C
Crying sweet Willie, don't murder me!
G D7 G
I'm not prepared for eternity.“
G D7
And only say that you'll be mine
D G
In no others arms entwined
G7 C
Down beside where the waters flow
G D7 G
Down by the banks of the Ohio
G D7
I took her by her golden curls
D G
And drug her down to the river-side
G7 C
And there I threw her into drown
G D7 G
And I watched her as she floated down
G D7
And only say that you'll be mine
D G
In no others arms entwined
G7 C
Down beside where the waters flow
G D7 G
Down by the banks of the Ohio
G D7
He's going home 'tween twelve and one
D G
Crying „Lord, what have I've done
G7
Oh Lord I've murdered the only girl
C
I ever did love
G D7 G
Because she would not be my bride“
G D7
And only say that you'll be mine
D G
In no others arms entwined
G7 C
Down beside where the waters flow
G D7 G
Down by the banks of the Ohio
