The Banks Of The Ohio Lyrics - The Three Pickers - Earl Scruggs

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 plunged her in 

Where she would drown, 

An' watched 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." 

[Chorus]
