LYRICS:
I asked my love to go with me,
Just to walk a little way.
And as we walked, ’twas then we talked
Of our approaching wedding day.
ESTRIBILLO:
Then only say that you’ll be mine
And in no other arms entwine.
Down beside, where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio.
I held a knife against her breast
As gently in my arms she pressed,
Crying Willie, Oh Willie! Don’t murder me
For I’m unprepared for eternity!
(ESTRIBILLO)
I took her by her lily white hand
And led her down where the waters stand;
I picked her up and pitched her in
And watched her as she floated down.
(ESTRIBILLO)
I started home ‘twixt twelve and one
Cryin’ Oh my God! What have I done?
I’ve murdered the only woman I love
Because she would not be my bride.
(ESTRIBILLO)
