The Banks of Ohio

The Banks of Ohio - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)

Written by：Joan Baez

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

And 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 against his breast

As into my arms she pressed

She cried

Oh Willy don't murder me

I'm not prepared for eternity

And only say that you'll be mine

And in no others' arms entwine

Down beside where the waters flow

Down by the banks of the Ohio

I took a walk just a little walk

I cried my God what have I done

I've killed the only woman I love

Because she would not be my bride

And only say that you'll be mine

And in no others' arms entwine

Down beside where the waters flow

Down by the banks of the Ohio

Down by the banks of the Ohio
