Banks Of The Ohio - Pete Seeger

I asked my love to take a walk

Just to walk a little way

And as we walked and as we talked

Of our golden wedding day

Then only say that you'll be mine

In no other arms you'll find

Down beside where the waters flow

On the banks of the Ohio

I drew a sword across her breast

Gently in my arms she pressed

Cryin' "Willy oh Willy don't you murder me

For I'm unprepared for eternity"

Then only say that you'll be mine

In no other arms you'll find

Down beside where the waters flow

On the banks of the Ohio

I took her by her lily white hand

I led her down where the waters stand

I picked her up and I pitched her in

And watched her as she floated down

Then only say that you'll be mine

In no other arms you'll find

Down beside where the waters flow

On the banks of the Ohio

I started back home 'twixt twelve and one

Cryin' "my God what have I done

I've murdered the only woman I love

Because she would not be my bride"

Then only say that you'll be mine

In no other arms you'll find

Down beside where the waters flow

On the banks of the Ohio
