D D
D A7
I asked my love to take a walk
A7 D
Just a walk just a little way
D D7 G
Down beside where the waters flow
G D A7 D
Down by the banks of the Ohio

[Chorus]
D A7
And only say that you'll be mine
A7 D
In no other arms entwined
D D7 G
Down beside where the waters flow
G D A7 D
Down by the banks of the Ohio
D A7
I held my knife against her breast
A7 D
As into my arms she pressed
D D7 G
She cried "oh, Willie, don't murder me.
G D A7 D
I am not prepared for eternity."

[Chorus]
D A7
And only say that you'll be mine
A7 D
In no other arms entwined
D D7 G
Down beside where the waters flow
G D A7 D
Down by the banks of the Ohio

[Interlude]
D A7
I started home b'ween twelve and one
A7 D
I cried my God what have I done
D D7 G
I've killed the only woman I loved
G D A7 D
Because she would not be my bride

[Chorus]
D A7
And only say that you'll be mine
A7 D
In no other arms entwined
D D7 G
Down beside where the waters flow
G D A7 D
Down by the banks of the Ohio

[End]
G D A7 D
Down by the banks of the Ohio
