Lyrics Banks of the Ohio - Pete Seeger
I
asked
my
love
to
take
a
walk
Just
to
walk
a
little
way
And
as
we
walked,
and
as
we
talked
Of
our
golden
wedding
day
Then
only
say
that
you'll
be
mine
In
no
other
arms
you'll
find
Down
beside
where
the
waters
flow
On
the
banks
of
the
Ohio
I
drew
a
sword
across
her
breast
Gently
in
my
arms
she
pressed
Cryin'
"Willy
oh
Willy
don't
you
murder
me
For
I'm
unprepared
for
eternity"
Chorus
I
took
her
by
her
lily-white
hand
I
led
her
down
where
the
waters
stand
I
picked
her
up
and
I
pitched
her
in
And
watched
her
as
she
floated
down
Chorus
I
started
back
home,
'twixt
twelve
and
one
Cryin'
"my
God,
what
have
I
done?
I've
murdered
the
only
woman
I
love
Because
she
would
not
be
my
bride"
Chorus
