Banks of Ohio - Patricia Lewis

作词：J. Rostill

作曲：J. Rostill

I asked my love to take a walk

Take a walk just a little walk

Down beside where the waters flow

Down by the banks of the old 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 old 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

I wanted home between twelve and one

I cried My lord what have I done

I've killed the only man I loved

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

Down by the banks of the old Ohio

Down by the banks of the old Ohio

Down by the banks of the old Ohio
