Banks Of The Ohio Lyrics - Cash Unearthed (box Set) - Johnny Cash

I asked my love to take a walk 

Take a walk just a little ways 

And as we walked, along we talk 

All would be our wedding day 

And only say that you'll be mine 

In no others arms entwined 

Down beside where the waters flow 

Down by the banks of the Ohio 

I asked her if she'd marry me 

And my wife forever be 

She only turned her head away 

And had no other words to say 

And only say that you'll be mine 

In no others arms entwined 

Down beside where the waters flow 

Down by the banks of the Ohio

I plunged a knife into her breast 

And told her she was going to rest 

She cried "Oh Willy, don't murder me 

I'm not prepared for eternity" 

I took her by her golden curls 

And drug her down to the river side 

And there I threw her into drown 

And I watched her as she floated down 

And only say that you'll be mine 

In no others arms entwined 

Down beside where the waters flow 

Down by the banks of the Ohio 

And going home between twelve and one 

I cried "Oh Lord, what have I've done?" 

I've killed the only girl I love 

Because she would not marry me
