[Verse 1]
[C]Come my love, let's take a [G]walk
Just a little while [C]away
While we walk, along we'll [F]talk
Talk [C]about [G]our wedding [C]day
[G]On the [C]sand, that she'll be [G]mine
In our home, we'll have a [C]happy day
Down the side, where the waters [F]flow
Down on the [C]banks, [G]of the old high [C]oil
[G]I drew my k[C]nife across her t[G]hroat
And to my breast she gently [C]pressed
Oh please,
oh please don't murder [F]me
For I'm [C]unprepared [G]to die, you see[C]
[G]I'd taken her [C]down
by her lily -white [G]hand
I let her down in a bed of [C]sand
Then I plunged her into the [F]ground
And watched [C]her [G]as
she floated [C]down
[G]Returnin' hom[C]e between
twelve and [G]one
Thinkin' of the deed I [C]done
I murdered the girl I loved, you [F]see
Because [C]she [G]would not marry [C]me
[G]Only [C]say that you'll be [G]mine
In our home, we'll have to [C]be
Bound aside where the waters [F]flow
Down on the [C]banks [G]of the [C]Ohio
[G][C][G][C][F][C][G]
[C]
[G]The next [C]day, as I returned [G]home,
I met the sheriff standing in the [C]door
He said, young man,
come with me and [F]go
Down to the [C]banks [G]of the O .R [C].O.
[G]Only [C]say you'll be [G]mine
In our home we'll have the [C]bay
Down beside where the waters [F]flow
Down to the [C]banks [G]of the O .R [C].O.
Down on the banks [G]of the [C]Ohio
Down on the banks [G]of the Ohio

[Outro 1]
