Olivia Newton-John - Banks Of The Ohio lyrics

Album: 48 Original Tracks (Eng) (1994)

I asked my love to take a walk
Just a walk a little way
And as we walk, oh, may we talk
All about our wedding day

Chorus:
Only say that you will be mine
In our home we will 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 am 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

Was walking home tween twelve & one
Thinkin´ of what I had done
I killed a girl, my love you see
Because she´d 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 & go
Down to the Banks of the Ohio
