Banks Of The Ohio Lyrics - Early Olivia - 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" 

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
