the blue sky boys - down on the banks of the ohio lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
come my love let’s take a walk
just a little way that way
while we walk along, we’ll talk
talk about our wedding day

[chorus]
only say that you’ll be mine
and in our home we’ll happy be
down beside where the waters flow
down on the banks of the ohio

[verse 2]
i drew my knife across her throat
and to my breast she gently pressed
oh please, oh please don’t you murder me
for i’m unprepared to die you see

[verse 3]
i taken her by her lily white hand
i led her down in a bed of sand
there i plunged her in to drown
and watched her as she floated down

[verse 4]
return home ‘tween twelve and one
thinking of the deed i’d done
i murdered a girl i love you see
because she would not marry me
[chorus]
only say that you’ll be mine
and in our home we’ll happy be
down beside where the waters flow
down on the banks of the ohio

[verse 5]
next day as i returning home
i met the sheriff standing in the door
he said, “young man come with me and go
down to the banks of the ohio”

[chorus]
only say that you’ll be mine
and in our home we’ll happy be
down beside where the waters flow
down on the banks of the ohio
