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
Then 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 (I held a knife) against his breast
And into my arms, he pressed
He cried, "My love, don't murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity"
Then 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 wandered home, 'tween, 12 and one
I cried, "My God, what have I done?"
I killed the only man I loved
He would not take me for his bride
Then 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
Then only say (then only say) that you'll be mine (you'll be mine)
In no others arms entwine
Down beside (down beside) where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
