Elliott Murphy The Banks Of The Ohio Lyrics

Come my love, lets take a walk,
just a little while away,
while we walk, along we talk,
talk about our wedding day,

Only say, that you'll be mine,
In our home, we'll happy be,
Down beside, where waters flow,
Down on the banks of the Ohio,

I drew my knife, across her throat,
And to by breast, she gently pressed,
Oh, please, oh, please, don't murder me,
For I'm not prepare to die, you see,

I've taken her down, by the little white ??
A little down in a bed of sand,
There are ?? and into drown,
And was turned as she flowed down,

Returning home, Between twelve and one, Thinkin' of the Did I done,
I murdered the girl I loved, you see,
Becouse she would not marry me,

Only say, that you'll be mine,
In our home, we'll happy be,
Down beside, where waters flow,
Down on the banks of the Ohio,

The next day, as I returned in home,
I met the sheriff, standing at the door,
Said "My man, com with me and go,
Down to the banks of the Ohio",

Only say, that you'll be mine,
In our home, we'll happy be,
Down beside, where waters flow,
Down on the banks of the Ohio,

Down on the banks of the Ohio,
Down on the banks of the Ohioooo, yeah.
