Banks of the Ohio

I asked my Dlove to take a Awalk Take a A7walk just a little Dways And as we D7walked, along we GtalkGm All would Dbe our A7wedding Dday    And only Dsay that you'll be Amine    In no A7others arms Dentwined    Down beD7side where the waters GflowGm    DDown by the A7banks of the OhiDo 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
