the kossoy sisters with erik darling – the banks of the ohio lyrics
[verse one]
i asked my love to take a walk
only for a little way
and as we walked we’d have a talk
of our approaching wedding day
[chorus]
then only say that you’ll be mine
and our home, so happy be
down beside some water flow
on the banks of the ohio
[verse two]
i drew a knife across her breast
as gently in my arms she pressed crying
“oh, willie, don’t you murder me
for i am unprepared to die”
[chorus]
then only say that you’ll be mine
and our home, so happy be
down beside some water flow
on the banks of the ohio
[verse three]
i took her by her lily-white hand
i let her down to the river strand
i plunged her in where she would drown
and stood and watched as she floated down
[chorus]
then only say that you’ll be mine
and our home, so happy be
down beside some water flow
on the banks of the ohio
[verse four]
while walking home ‘tween twelve and one
thinking of the deed i’d done
i k!lled the girl that i loved best
because she would not be my bride
[chorus]
then only say that you’ll be mine
and our home, so happy be
down beside some water flow
on the banks of the ohio
