Lyric

I asked my love to take a walk

Just to walk a little ways

And as we walked along we talked

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 took her by her lily white hand

I dragged her down that bank of sand

There I threw her in to drown

I watched her as she floated down

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

Returning home between twelve and one

Thinking of what a deed I'd done

I'd killed the girl I loved you see

Because she would not marry me

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

The very next day about half passed four

The sheriff's men knocked at my door

He said young man come now and go

Down to the banks of the Ohio

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

- It's already the end -
