Doc Watson - Banks Of The Ohio Lyrics
(break)I asked my love to take a walkJust a little ways with meAnd as we walked and we would talkAll about our weddingday(chorus)Darling say that you'll be mineIn our home we'll happy beDown beside where the waters flowOn the banks of the Ohio(break)I took her by her pretty white handI let her down that bank of sandI pushed her in where she would drownLord, I saw her as she floated down(chorus)Returning home about twelve or oneThinking "Lord, what a deed I've done?"I killed the girl I love, you seeBecause she would not marry me(chorus)(break)The very next day at half past fourThe sherrif walked right to my doorAnd he says "Young man, don't you try to runYou'll pay for this awful crime you've done"(chorus)
