Joan Baez - Banks Of The Ohio lyrics

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 old ohio.

And only say that you`ll be mine

In no others arms entwine,

Down beside where the waters flow,

Down by the banks of the old ohio.

I held a knife against her brest

As ino my arms she pressed,

She cried, "oh, willie, don`t murder me,

I`m not prepeared for eternity."

And only say that you`ll be mine

In no others arms entwine

Down beside where the waters flow

Down by the banks of the old ohio

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

In no others arms entwine,

Down beside where the waters flow,

Down by the banks of the old ohio.
