[Intro]
G

[1st verse:]
                   G                     D
I asked my love, to take a walk
                                 G
Take a walk, just a little ways,
                                               C
And as we walked, along we talked
                         G    D                   G
Of when would be, our wedding day.

[Chorus]
                 G                           D
And only say, that you'll be mine,
                                       G
In no o thers arms entwined,
                                                  C
Down beside where the waters flow,
                      G     D                G
Down by the banks of the Ohio.

[Verse]
                  G                     D
I asked her if she'd marry me,
                                 G
And my wife forever be,
                                             C
She only turned her head away
                    G D                  G
And had no other words to say.

[Chorus]
                G                           D  
And only say, that you'll be mine,
                                       G
In no o thers arms entwined,
                                                 C
Down beside where the waters flow,
                       G      D            G
Down by the banks of the Ohio.

[Verse]
                    G                    D
I plunged a knife into her breast,
                                                G
And told her she was going to rest,
                                                      C
She cried 'Oh Willie, don't murder me,
              G     D                  G
I'm not prepared for eternity.'

[Verse]

                 G                     D
I took her by her golden curls,
                                                  G
And drug her down to the riverside,
                                               C 
And there I pushed her into drown,
                            G D                       G
And I watched her as she floated down.

[Chorus]
                  G                         D
And only say, that you'll be mine,
                                   G
In no o thers arms entwined,
                                                    C
Down beside where the waters flow,
                       G D                G
Down by the banks of the Ohio.

[Verse]
                  G                                        D
And going home between twelve and one,
                                                       G
And cried 'Oh Lord, What have I done,
                                      C
I've killed the only girl I love,
                    G        D                G
Because she would not marry me.

[Chorus]
                G                          D
And only say, that you'll be mine,
                                     G
In no o thers arms entwined,
                                                  C
Down beside where the waters flow,
                     G D                 G
Down by the banks of the Ohio.
