I asked my [C]love to take a [G]walk
To take a walk, just a little [C]walk
Down beside where the waters [F]flow
Down by the [C]banks [G]of the Ohi[C]o

And only say that you'll be mine
In no other's arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio

I held a knife against her brest
As into my arms she pressed
She cried, "Oh, Willie, don't murder me,
I'm not prepared for eternity"

And only say that you'll be mine
...

I started home 'tween twelve and one
I cried, "My God! what have I done ?
Killed the only woman I loved
Because she would not be my bride"

And only say that you'll be mine
