[가사] 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 Ohio (Chorus:) 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 Ohio I held a knife against his breast As into my arms he pressed He cried "My love, don't you murder me I'm not prepared for eternity" (Chorus:) 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 Ohio I wandered home 'tween twelve and one I cried, "My God, what have I done?" I've killed the only man I love He would not take me for his bride (Chorus:) 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 Ohio
