Banks Of The Ohio Lyrics - Singles - Charley Pride

(spoken) 

I asked my love to take a walk 

Just to walk just a little way 

As we talked of our future wedding day 

And when she said she could never be mine 

(sung) 

I placed a knife against her breast 

As into my arms she pressed 

She cried oh please don't murder me 

I'm not prepared for eternity

(chorus) 

Only say that you'll be mine 

In no other arms entwined 

Down beside where the waters flow 

Down by the banks of the Ohio

I started home tween twelve and one 

I cried my God what have I done 

I've killed the only one I loved 

Because she would not be my bride
