Banks Of The Ohio Lyrics - Blue Smoke - Dolly Parton

I went into his prison cell 

To write his story, if he'd tell 

He spoke as tears, fell from his eyes 

And he told me when, and how and why 

And he said 

 

I asked my love to take a walk 

Just to walk, a little ways 

And as we walked, then we could talk 

About our future wedding day 

 

But when she said, she could never be mine 

Well I held a knife against her breast 

As into my arms she pressed 

She cried "my love, don't you murder me 

'Cause I'm not prepared for eternity"

Then only say that you'll be mine 

And in no others' arms entwine 

Down beside where the waters flow 

Down by the banks of the Ohio 

 

I started home twixt twelve and one 

I cried, "My God, what have I done?" 

I've killed the one I love tonight 

Because she would not be my bride 

 

Well only say that you'll be mine 

And 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

Save my soul Lord 

Save my soul 

There beside where the waters flow 

Down by the banks of the Ohio
