Bill Monroe - On the Banks of the Ohio Lyrics

Lyrics On the Banks of the Ohio - Bill Monroe




I asked my love to take a walk
Just to walk a little way
And as we walked, oh we may talk
All about our wedding day
Only say that you'll be mine
In my home we'll happy be
Down beside where the waters flow
On the banks of the Ohio
He took her by her lily white hand
And he dragged her down to the river bank
There he pushed her in to drown
And he watched her as she floated down
Only say that you'll be mine
In my home we'll happy be
Down beside where the waters flow
On the banks of the Ohio
Was coming home 'tween twelve and one
Thinkin' of what he had done
He'd murdered only girl I loved
Because she would not marry me
Only say that you'll be mine
In my home we'll happy be
Down beside where the waters flow
On the banks of the Ohio
The very next morn about half past four
The sheriff man knocked at my door
"Now young man, come now let's go
Down to the banks of the Ohio"
Only say that you'll be mine
In my home we'll happy be
Down beside where the waters flow
On the bank of the Ohio
