1.I asked my love to take a walk

to take a walk,just a little walk
       D7                     G    G7
Down beside where the waters flow

Down by the banks of the Ohio

          D                  A
And only say that you´ll be mine

in no other´s arms entwine

down beside where the waters flow
             D    A7       D      D
down by the banks of the Ohio

        A7            D
as into my arms she pressed
               D7                     G    G7
she cried:"Oh Willie,don´t you murder me
            D          A7   D      D
I,m not prepared for eternity."

in no other´s arms entwine

down beside where the waters flow
             D    A7       D      D
down by the banks of the Ohio

3.I started home ´tween twelve and one
    A7                       D
I cried:"My God,what have I done?
           D7              G    G7
Killed the only woman I loved
              D       A7      D      D
because she would not be my bride."

down beside where the waters flow
             D    A7       D      D
down by the banks of the Ohio
