Banks Of The Ohio Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A][A][A]
I asked my [A]love to take a [E]walk,
To take a walk, just a little [A]walk,
Down beside where the waters [D]flow,
Down by the [A]banks [E]of the Ohio[A]

[Chorus 1]
And only [A]say that you'll be [E]mine
In no others arms en[A]twine,
Down beside where the waters [D]flow,
Down by the [A]banks [E]of the Ohio[A]

[Verse 2]
I held a [A]knife against her [E]breast,
As into my arms she [A]pressed,
She cried, "Oh Willie, don't murder [D]me
I'm not pre[A]pared [E]for eternity.[A]"

[Chorus 2]
And only [A]say that you'll be [E]mine
In no others arms en[A]twine,
Down beside where the waters [D]flow,
Down by the [A]banks [E]of the Ohio[A]

[Verse 3]
I started [A]home 'tween twelve and [E]one
I cried, "My God, what have I [A]done?
I've killed the only woman I [D]loved,
Because she [A]would [E]not be my bri[A]de,"

[Outro 1]
And only [A]say that you'll be [E]mine
In no others arms en[A]twine,
Down beside where the waters [D]flow,
Down by the [A]banks [E]of the Ohio[A]
