Banks of the Ohio

Verse 1

I asked my G love to take a D walk

Just to D7 walk a little G way

As we walked along we C talked

All about G our D wedding G day

Chorus

And only G say that you'll be D mine

And our D7 home will happy G be

Down beside where the waters C flow

Down on the G banks of the D Ohio G

Verse 2

I took her G by her lily white D hand

Led her D7 down where the waters G stand

There I pushed her in to C drown

And watched G as she D floated G down

Verse 3

I started G home tween twelve and D one

I cried, "My D7 God, what have I G done."

I murdered the only woman I C loved

Because she G would not D marry G me.

Verse 4

The very next G morning about half-past D four

the sheriff came knocking on my G door

He said, "Young man, come with me and C go

Down to the G banks of the D Ohio. G "
