Banks Of The Ohio - olivia newton john
I asked my love to take a walk, to take a
walk, just a little walk
Down the side where the waters flow, down
by the banks of the Ohio
Chorus:
And only say that you'll be mine, in no
other's arms entwined
Down the side where the waters flow, down
by the banks of the Ohio
I held a knife against his breast, as into my
arms he pressed
He cried, "My love, don't you murder me, I'm
not prepared for eternity"
(chorus)
I wandered home 'tween twelve and one, I
cried, "My God, what have I done?
I've killed the only man I love, he would not
take me for his bride"
(chorus)
Down by the banks of the Ohio
