-bout
our wedding
day
Only
Chorus:
Only 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 held a knife
against her breast
As into
my arms she pressed
She said Willie,
don't you murder me
I'm unprepared
for eternity
I took her by
her lily white hand
And dragged her down
that bank of sand
There I throwed
her in to drown
I watched her as
she floated down
‘tween twelve and one
Was walking home
Thinkin' of
what I had done
I killed a girl,
my love you see
Because she would
not marry me
The very next morn
about half past four
The Sheriff came
knocked at my door
He said now young man
come now and go
Down to the Banks
of the Ohio
