bobby bare – banks of the ohio lyrics
i asked my love to take a walk
to take a walk, just a little walk
down beside where the waters flow
down by the banks of the ohio
and only say that you’ll be mine
in no others’ arms entwine
down beside where the waters flow
down by the banks of the ohio
i held a knife against her breast
as into my arms she pressed
she cried “my love, don’t you murder me
i’m not prepared for eternity”
i wandered home ‘tween twelve and one
i cried, “my god, what have i done?”
i’ve killed the only girl i need
because she would not marry me
and only say that you’ll be mine
in no others’ arms entwine
down beside where the waters flow
down by the banks of the ohio
the next day, right half past four
the sheriff walked right to my door
and he says young man, don’t you try to run
you gotta pay for this awful crime you’ve done
only say that you’ll be mine
in no others’ arms entwine
down beside where the waters flow
down by the banks of the ohio
down by the banks of the ohio
