Banks Of The Ohio Lyrics - Singles - Bill Monroe

Banks Of The Ohio - Bill Monroe 

 

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 Ohio 

 

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" 

 

* Refrain 

 

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" 

 

* Refrain
