Banks Of The Ohio |
|
- Olivia Newton John |
|
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 |
|
Down by the banks of the Ohio |
