BANKS OF THE OHIO

JOHNNY CASH

Key:

Intro :

I asked my love, to take a walk

Take a walk, just a li ttle ways,

And as we walked, along we talked

Of when would be, our wedding day.

And only say, that you'll be mine,

In no o thers arms entwi ned,

Down beside where the waters flow,

Down by the banks of the Ohi o.

I asked her if she'd marry me,

And my wife forever be,

She only turned her head a way

And had no othe r words to s ay.

Refrain

I plunged a knife into her breast,

And told her she was going to rest,

She cried 'Oh Willie, don't murder me,

I'm not prepared for eternit y.'

I took her by her golden curls,

And drug her down to the river side,

And there I pushed her into drown,

And I watched her as s he floated do wn.

Refrain

And going home between twelve and one,

And cried 'Oh Lord, What have I done,

I've killed the only girl I love,

Because she would not marry me.

Refrain
