[Intro]G[Versetto]G DI asked my love, to take a walkGTake a walk, just a little ways,CAnd as we walked, along we talkedG D GOf when would be, our wedding day.[Ritornello]G DAnd only say, that you'll be mine,GIn no o thers arms entwined,CDown beside where the waters flow,G D GDown by the banks of the Ohio.[Versetto]G DI asked her if she'd marry me,GAnd my wife forever be,CShe only turned her head awayG D GAnd had no other words to say.[Ritornello]G DAnd only say, that you'll be mine,GIn no o thers arms entwined,CDown beside where the waters flow,G D GDown by the banks of the Ohio.[Versetto]G DI plunged a knife into her breast,GAnd told her she was going to rest,CShe cried 'Oh Willie, don't murder me,G D GI'm not prepared for eternity.'[Versetto]G DI took her by her golden curls,GAnd drug her down to the riverside,CAnd there I pushed her into drown,G D GAnd I watched her as she floated down.[Ritornello]G DAnd only say, that you'll be mine,GIn no o thers arms entwined,CDown beside where the waters flow,G D GDown by the banks of the Ohio.[Versetto]G DAnd going home between twelve and one,GAnd cried 'Oh Lord, What have I done,CI've killed the only girl I love,G D GBecause she would not marry me.[Ritornello]G DAnd only say, that you'll be mine,GIn no o thers arms entwined,CDown beside where the waters flow,G D GDown by the banks of the Ohio.
