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 BREST

AS INO MY ARMS SHE PRESSED,

SHE CRIED,
