I went into his prison cell
To write his story if he'd tell
He spoke as tears fell from his eyes
And he told me when and how and [C#] why
And he said
I asked my love to [G#] take a walk
Just to walk a little [C#] ways
And as we walked
[G#m] Then we [F#] could talk
About our future [G#]
wedding day
But when she said she could never be mine
Well I held a knife against her breast
[D#] As into my arms [C#] she pressed
She cried my love don't murder [F#m] me
Cause [C#] I'm not prepared [G#] for [C#] eternity
Then only say that you'll [G#] be mine
And in no other's [C#] arms entwine
Down beside where the [F#] waters flow
Down by the [G#] banks of the [C#] Ohio
I started home, Twix [G#] twelve and one
I cried my God what have [C#] I done
I killed the one I [F#] love tonight
Because [G#] she would not be my [C#]
bride
Well only say [D#] that you'll be [G#] mine
[D#] And in [G#] no [F]
other's arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by [C#] the banks of the Ohio
Down by the banks of the Ohio
Well I [G#]
held a gun
Save my soul Lord save [C#] my soul
Down beside where the waters [F#] flow
[C#] Down by the [A#m] banks [G#] of the Ohio
[C#]
To write his story if he'd tell
He spoke as tears fell from his eyes
And he told me when and how and [C#] why
And he said
I asked my love to [G#] take a walk
Just to walk a little [C#] ways
And as we walked
[G#m] Then we [F#] could talk
About our future [G#]
wedding day
But when she said she could never be mine
Well I held a knife against her breast

And in no other's [C#] arms entwine
Down beside where the [F#] waters flow
