I[G] asked my love to take a[D7] walk, 
To take a walk, just a little[G] walk
Down beside where the waters[C] flow
Down by the[G] banks, of the[D7] Ohi[G]o
 

Then only say that you'll be mine 
And in no other arms entwine. 
Down beside, where the waters flow 
Down by the banks of the Ohio. 
 
I held a knife against her breast 
As gently in my arms she pressed,  
Crying "Willie, Oh Willie! Don't murder me 
For I'm unprepared for eternity!" 
 
I took her by her lily white hand 
And led her down where the waters stand; 
I picked her up and pitched her in 
And watched her as she floated down. 
 
I started home between twelve and one 
Cryin' "Oh my God! What have I done?  
I've murdered the only woman I love 
Because she would not be my bride.
