C G
I asked my love to take a walk,
G7 C
Just to walk, a little way,
C7 F
And as we walked and as we talked
C G C
About our golden wedding day.
[Refrain]
C G
And only say that you'll be mine
G7 C
In no others arms entwine,
C7 F
Down beside where the waters flow,
C G G
Down by the banks of the old ohio.
C G
I held a knife against her brest
G7 C
As ino my arms she pressed,
C7 F
She cried, "oh, willie, don't murder me,
C G C
I'm not prepeared for eternity."
[Refrain]
C G
And only say that you'll be mine
G7 C
In no others arms entwine,
C7 F
Down beside where the waters flow,
C G G
Down by the banks of the old ohio.
C G
I started home 'tween twelve and one,
G7 C
I cried, "my god, what have i done?
C7 F
Killed the only woman i loved,
C G C
Because she would not be my bride."
[Refrain]
C G
And only say that you'll be mine
G7 C
In no others arms entwine,
C7 F
Down beside where the waters flow,
C G G
Down by the banks of the old ohio.
