Banks Of The Ohio / Olivia Newton-John

         Banks Of The Ohio 

 

                 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          Down by the banks 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          Down by the banks 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          Down by the banks of the Ohio
