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 Sjabloon:A76wedding Dday
And only Dsay that you'll be Amine
In no A7others arms Dentwined
Down beD7side where the waters GflowGm
Down 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
