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
  (Refrain)
    And only say that you'll be mine
    In no other's arms entwine
    Down beside where the waters flow
    Down by the banks of the Ohio
 I held a knife against her brest
 As into my arms she pressed
 She cried, "Oh, Willie, don't murder me,
 I'm not prepared for eternity"
 * Refrain
 I started home 'tween twelve and one
 I cried, "My God! what have I done ?
 Killed the only woman I loved
 Because she would not be my bride"
 * Refrain
