Banks of the Ohio

I asked my Clove to take a Gwalk Take a G7}walk just a little Cways And as we C7walked, along we FtalkFm All would G7be our wedding Cday    And only Csay that you'll be Gmine    In no G7others arms Centwined    Down beC7side where the waters FflowFm    Down by the G7banks of the OhiCo I asked her if she'd marry me And my wife forever be She only turned her head away And had no other words to say I plunged a knife into her breast And told her she was going to rest She cried "Oh Willy, don't murder me I'm not prepared for eternity" I took her by her golden curls And drug her down to the river side And there I threw her into drown And I watched her as she floated down And going home between twelve and one I cried "Oh Lord, what have I've done?" I've killed the only girl I love Because she would not marry me
