Banks Of The Ohio歌词

作词 : Traditional
作曲 : Traditional
I asked my love to take a walk
To take a walk just a little walk
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the old Ohio
And only say that you'll be mine
In no others arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the old Ohio
I held a knife against her breast
As into my arms she pressed
She cried "Oh Willie don't murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity"
And only say that you'll be mine
In no others arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the old Ohio
I started home between twelve and one
I cried "My God what have I done
Killed the only woman I loved
Because she would not be my bride"
And only say that you'll be mine
In no others arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the old Ohio
