Karaoké Banks of the Ohio Joan Baez

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

And in no other's arms entwine

Down beside where the waters flow

Down by the banks of the Ohio

I held a knife against her breast

As into my arms she pressed

She cried oh Willie don't 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 waters flow

Down by the banks of the Ohio

I started home 'tween twelve and one

I cried my God what have I done

Killed the only woman I loved

Because she would not be my bride

And only say that you'll be mine

In no other's arms entwine

Down beside where the waters flow

Down by the banks of the Ohio
