I asked my love to take a walk
          E7                  A
To take a walk, just a little walk
       A7                    D
Down beside where the waters flow
            A    E              A
Down by the banks of the old Ohio
         A                  E
And only say that you'll be mine
      E7            A
In no others arms entwine
       A7                    D
Down beside where the waters flow
            A    E              A
Down by the banks of the old Ohio
         A                 E
I held a knife against her breast
     E7             A
As into my arms she pressed
               A7                   D
She cried, "Oh Willie, don't murder me
           A    E          A
I'm not prepared for eternity"
         A                  E
And only say that you'll be mine
      E7            A
In no others arms entwine
       A7                    D
Down beside where the waters flow
            A    E              A
Down by the banks of the old Ohio
          A                       E
I started home between twelve and one
             E7               A
I cried, "My God, what have I done?
           A7           D
Killed the only woman I loved
            A    E          A
Because she would not be my bride"
         A                  E
And only say that you'll be mine
      E7            A
In no others arms entwine
       A7                    D
Down beside where the waters flow
            A    E              A
Down by the banks of the old Ohio
