Lyrics
I asked my love to take a walk Just a walk a little way And as we walk, oh, may we talk All about our wedding day Only 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 held a knife against her breast As into my arms she prayed She said "Willy, don't you murder me - I'm unprepared for eternity" I took her by her lily-white hands And dragged her down that bank of sand There I throwed her in to drown I watched her as she floated down Was walking home 'tween twelve and one Thinking of what I'd done I killed a girl, my love you see 'Cause she would not marry me The very next morn', about half past four The sherif came, he knocked on my door He said young man, come now and go To the banks of The Ohio
