Banks of the Ohio

Banks of the Ohio - Olivia Newton-John

Lyricist：John Farrar/Bruce Welch

Composer：John Farrar/Bruce Welch

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

When waters flow

Down by the banks of the ohio

Of the ohio

I held a knife

Against his breast

As into my arms he pressed

He cried my love

Don't you murder me

I'm not prepared

For eternity

And only say that you'll be mine

In no others' arms entwine

Down beside where the waters flow

When waters flow

Down by the banks

Of the ohio

Of the ohio

I wandered home

'Tween twelve and one

I cried

My God

What have I done

I've killed the only man I love

He would not take me

For his bride

And only say that you'll be mine

In no others' arms entwine

Down beside where the waters flow

When waters flow

Down by the banks of the ohio

Of the ohio

Down by the banks

Of the ohio

Ohhhhhh
