Chorus:

Only say that you'll be mine - in our home we'll happy be,

down beside where the waters low - on the banks of the Ohio.

I held a knife against her breast - as into my arms she pressed,

she said Willie, don't you murder me - I'm unprepared for eternity.

Chorus

I took her by her lily white hand - and dragged her down that bank of sand,

there I throwed her in to drown - I watched her as she loated down.

Chorus

Was walking home tween twelve and one - thinkin' of what I had done,

I killed a girl, my love you see - because she would not marry me.

Chorus

Very next morn about half past four - the sherif came knocked at my door,

he said now young man come now and go - down to the Banks of the Ohio.
