• The Banks of the Ohio

I asked my love to take a walk,
Just a little way`s with me.
An` as we walked,
Then we would talk
All about our wedding day.

[Chorus]
`Darlin`, say that you`ll be mine;
In our home we`ll happy be,
Down beside where the waters flow,
On the banks of the Ohio.`

I took her by her pretty white hand,
I led her down the banks of sand,
I pushed her in
Where she would drown,
An` saw her as she floated down.

[Chorus]

Returnin` home between twelve and one,
Thinkin`, Lord, what a deed I`ve done;
I`d killed the girl
I love, you see,
Because she would not marry me.

The very next day, at half past four,
The sheriff walked right to my door;
He says, `Young man,
Don`t try to run.
You`ll pay for this awful crime you`ve don.`
