Ohio anglicky
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
In no o--thers
arms entwine
Down beside
where the waters flow
Down by the
banks of the Ohio
***
I held a knife
against his breast
As into- my arms
he pressed
He cried my love
don’t you murder me
I’m not prepared
for eternity
***
And only say
that you’ll be mine
In no o-thers
arms entwine
Down beside - where
the waters flow
Down by the banks
of the Ohio
***
I wandered home
tween twelve and one
I cried, “My God,
-what have I done?
I’ve killed the
o-nly man I love
He would not
take me- for his bride
***
And only say
that you’ll be mine
In no o-thers
arms entwine
Down beside
where the waters flow
Down by the
banks of the Ohio
