G
D
I asked my love to take a walk,
D7 G
Just to walk a little way.
G7
And we did walk,
C
And we did talk
G D G
All about our wedding day.
CHORUS:
'Then only, say that you'll be
mine;
And in no other's arms entwine,
Down beside where the waters
flow,
Down by the banks of the Ohio
I took her by her lily white
hand,
I led her down the banks of sand,
I plunged her in
Where she would drown,
And watched her as she floated
down.
CHORUS:
Returnin' home between twelve
and one,
Thinkin', Lord, what have I done;
I'd killed the girl
I love, you see,
Because she would not marry me.
CHORUS: |
