Down The Banks Of The Ohio - The Blue Sky Boys
Come my love let's take a walk
Just a little way away
While we walk along we'll talk
Talk about our wedding day
Only say that you'll be mine
And in our home we'll happy be
Down beside where the waters flow
Down on the banks of the Ohio
I drew my knife across her throat
And to my breast she gently pressed
Oh please oh please don't murder me
For I'm unprepared to die you see
I taken her by her lily white hand
I let her down and I bade her stand
There I plunged her in to drown
And watched her as she floated down
Returning home tween twelve and one
Thinking of the deed done
I murdered a girl I love you see
Because she would not marry me
Only say that you'll be mine
And in our home we'll happy be
Down beside where the waters flow
Down on the banks of the Ohio
Next day as I returning home
I met the sheriff standing in the door
He said young man come with me and go
Down to the banks of the Ohio
Only say that you'll be mine
And in our home we'll happy be
Down beside where the waters flow
Down on the banks of the Ohio
