Joan Baez Lyrics
Banks of Ohio

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 old ohio.

and only say that you`ll be mine
in no others arms entwine,
down beside where the waters flow,
down by the banks of the old ohio.

I held a knife against his brest
as ino my arms he pressed,
he cried, "my love dontcha murder me,

I`m not prepeared for eternity."

and only say that you`ll be mine
in no others arms entwine
down beside where the waters flow
down by the banks of the old ohio

I started home `tween twelve and one,
I cried, "my god, what have I done?
I killed the only man I loved,
he would not take me for his bride."

and only say that you`ll be mine
in no others arms entwine,
down beside where the waters flow,
down by the banks of the old ohio.
