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