Lyrics
I asked my love to take a walk
Just a little ways with me
As we walked and we would talk
All about our wedding day
Darlin', say that you'll be mine
In our home, we'll happy be
Down beside where the waters flow
On the Banks of the Ohio
I took her by her pretty white hand
I led her down that bank of sand
I pushed her in where she would drown
Lord, I saw her as she floated down
Darlin', say that you'll be mine
In our home, we'll happy be
Down beside where the waters flow
On the Banks of the Ohio
Returning home between twelve and one
Thinking, "Lord, Lord, what a deed I've done"
I'd killed the girl I love, you see
Because she would not marry me
Darlin', say that you'll be mine
In our home, we'll happy be
Down beside where the waters flow
On the Banks of the Ohio
The very next day at half past four
The sheriff walked right to my door
He said, "Young man, don't try to run
You must pay for this awful crime you've done"
Darlin', say that you'll be mine
In our home, we'll happy be
Down beside where the waters flow
On the Banks of the Ohio
