Why ask my love to take a [G]
walk?
Take a walk, just a little [C] walk
Down the South where the [F] waters flow
Down by [C] the banks [G] of the [C] Ohio
And only say that you'll [G] be mine
And more,
[C]
down the South where the waters [F] flow
Down by [C] the banks [G] of the [C] Ohio
Against [G] his breast, as into my arms [C] he pressed
He cried, my love, don't you murder [F] me
We'll [C] be there [G] for [C] eternity
And only say that you'll [G] be mine
In the warm, [C] in twilight
Down the South where the waters [F] flow
Down by [C] the banks [G] of the [C] Ohio
In crown [G] one, I cried my guts
[C]
out
I killed the other, [F]
he would not [C] take me
[G] For [C] his bride
And only say that you'll [G] be mine
In the warm, [C] in twilight
Down the South where the waters [F] flow
Down by [C] the banks [G] of the [C] Ohio
[F] Down by [C] the [G] banks of the [C] Ohio
