[1] I asked my love to take a [5] walk
Just a [57] walk a little [1] way
And as we walk oh may we [4] talk
All [1] about [5] our wedding [1] day
Only say that you'll be mine
In our home we'll happy be
Down beside where the waters flow
On the banks of the Ohio
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 floated down
Was walkin' home between twelve and one
Thinkin' of what I had done
I killed a girl I love you see
Because she would not marry me
The very next morn about half past four
The sheriff's men knock at my door
Saying now young man come now and go
Down to the Banks of the Ohio
[1] I asked my love to take a [5] walk

In our home we'll happy be
Down beside where the waters flow
On the banks of the Ohio

And dragged her down that bank of sand

I watched her as she floated down
Was walkin' home between twelve and one
Thinkin' of what I had done
I killed a girl I love you see
Because she would not marry me
The very next morn about half past four
The sheriff's men knock at my door
Saying now young man come now and go
Down to the Banks of the Ohio
