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 MINEIN NO OTHERS ARMS ENTWINE,DOWN BESIDE WHERE THE WATERS FLOW,DOWN BY THE BANKS OF THE OLD OHIO.I HELD A KNIFE AGAINST HER BRESTAS INO MY ARMS SHE PRESSED,SHE CRIED, "OH, WILLIE, DON`T MURDER ME,I`M NOT PREPEARED FOR ETERNITY."AND ONLY SAY THAT YOU`LL BE MINEIN NO OTHERS ARMS ENTWINEDOWN BESIDE WHERE THE WATERS FLOWDOWN BY THE BANKS OF THE OLD OHIOI STARTED HOME `TWEEN 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 MINEIN NO OTHERS ARMS ENTWINE,DOWN BESIDE WHERE THE WATERS FLOW,DOWN BY THE BANKS OF THE OLD OHIO.
