[A]
I ask my love to [E] take a walk, take a walk just a little [A]
ways.
And as we walk along [D] we talk of when [A] would be [E] our wedding [A] day.
And only say that you'll [E] be mine in no other's [A] arms entwined.
Down beside where the [D] waters flow, down by [A] the banks [E] of the [A] Ohio.
I asked her if she'd [E] marry me and my wife forever [A] be.
She only turned her [D] head away and [A] had no [E] other words [A] to say.
And only say that [E] you'll be mine in no other's [A] arms entwined.
Down beside where the [D] waters flow, [A] down by the banks [E] of the [A] Ohio.
I plunged a knife [E] into her breast and told her she was [A] going to rest.
She cried, oh Willie, don't [D] murder me, [A] I'm not prepared [E] for [A] eternity.
I took her by her [E] golden curls and drug her down to the [A]
riverside.
And there I threw her in the [D] drown and I [A] watched her [E] as she [A] floated down.
And only say [C#m] that [E] you'll be mine in no other's [A] arms entwined.
Down beside where the [D] waters flow, [A] down by the banks [E] of the [A] Ohio.
And going home [E] between twelve and one, I cried, oh Lord, what have [A] I done?
I've killed the only [D] girl I love [A] because she [E] would not [A] marry me.
And only say that [E] you'll be mine in no other's [A] arms entwined.
