Olivia Newton John - Banks Of The Ohio

I asked my love
to take a walk
To take a walk
just a little walk
Dawn beside
where the water flow
Down by the bank of the Ohio
And only say
that you'll be mine
In no other's arms entwine
Down beside
where the water flow
Down by the bank of the Ohio
I held knife
againist 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 other's arms entwine
Down beside
where the water flow
Down by the bank of the Ohio
I wandered home
tween twelve and one
I cried
My god what have I done
I've killed the only woman
I love
He would not take me
for his bride
And only say
that you'll be mine
In no other's arms entwine
Down beside
where the water flow
Down by the bank of the Ohio
Down by the bank of the Ohio

I asked my love
to take a walk
To take a walk
just a little walk
Dawn beside
where the water flow
Down by the bank of the Ohio
And only say
that you'll be mine
In no other's arms entwine
Down beside
where the water flow
Down by the bank of the Ohio
I held knife
againist 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 other's arms entwine
Down beside
where the water flow
Down by the bank of the Ohio
I wandered home

for his bride
And only say

In no other's arms entwine
Down beside
where the water flow
Down by the bank of the Ohio
Down by the bank of the Ohio
