paroles de chanson Banks Of The Ohio - Lisa McHugh

I went into his prison cell
To write his story, a fairytale
He spoke as tears fell from his eyes
And he told me when and how and why
And he said
I asked my love to take a walk
Just to walk a little ways
And as we walked then we could talk
About our future wedding day
I held a knife against her breast
As into my arms she pressed
She cried, "My love, don't murder me
'Cause I'm not prepared for eternity"
Then only say that you'll be mine
And in no other's arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
I started home (I started home)
'Twixt twelve and one ('Twixt twelve and one)
I cried, "My God, what have I done? (What have I done?)
I've killed the one I love tonight
Because she would not be my bride"
Then only say that you'll be mine
And in no other's arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
And only say that you'll be mine
And in no other's arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
Down by the banks of the Ohio
