Lyrics

[00:01.32] Banks Of The Ohio-Olivia Newton
[00:05.69] I asked my love to take a walk
[00:11.39]
[00:13.27] To take a walk' just a little walk
[00:18.63]
[00:20.76] Down beside where the waters flow
[00:26.12]
[00:27.49] Down by the banks of the Ohio
[00:34.80] And only say that you'll be mine
[00:41.66]
[00:42.66] In no others' arms entwine
[00:49.02]
[00:49.90] Down beside where the waters flow
[00:56.95] Down by the banks of the Ohio
[01:03.85]
[01:04.60] I held a knife against his breast
[01:10.65]
[01:12.16] As into my arms he pressed
[01:19.08] He cried my love'
[01:22.12]
[01:22.75] don't you murder me
[01:26.49] I'm not prepared for eternity
[01:32.73]
[01:34.10] And only say that you'll be mine
[01:41.84] In no others' arms entwine
[01:49.21] Down beside where the waters flow
[01:55.07]
[01:56.07] Down by the banks of the Ohio
[02:02.92]
[02:03.66] I wandered home 'tween twelve and one
[02:10.03]
[02:11.03] I cried' My God' what have I done?
[02:18.25] I've killed the only man I love
[02:24.68]
[02:25.68] He would not take me for his bride
[02:32.53]
[02:33.22] And only say that you'll be mine
[02:39.96]
[02:40.96] In no others' arms entwine
[02:48.57] Down beside where the waters flow
[02:55.50] Down by the banks of the Ohio
[03:02.99] Down by the banks of the Ohio
[03:10.16]
