    Lyrics
    I asked my love to take a walk
    Take a walk just a little walk
    Down beside where the water flows
    On the banks of the Ohio

    And darling say youll be mine
    In our home well happy be
    Down beside where the water flows
    On the banks of the Ohio

    I took her by her lily-white hand
    And walker her down to the bank of sand
    I pushed her in where she would drown
    And I watched her as she floated down

    And darling say youll be mine
    In our home well happy be
    Down beside where the water flows
    On the banks of the Ohio

    I headed home between twelve and one
    Cried my God what have I done
    I killed the girl I love you see
    Because she would not marry me

    And darling say youll be mine
    In our home well happy be
    Down beside where the water flows
    On the banks of the Ohio

    Well the Sheriff came and he brought me down
    They passed judgement on me down in town
    Behind bars till I am dead
    No hoped parole my freedoms fled

    And darling say youll be mine
    In our home well happy be
    Down beside where the water flows
    On the banks of the Ohio
