Lyrics for Banks Of The Ohio by JOHNNY CASH:
| | | Artist: | JOHNNY CASH |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Banks Of The Ohio | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 70 | | | | Lyrics: | I asked my love to take a walk
Just a little ways with me
And as we walked and we would
talk
All about our weddingday
[Chorus:]
And only say that you'll be mine
In no
others arms entwined
Down beside where the waters flow
On the banks of the Ohio
I
asked her if she'd marry me
And my wife forever be
She only turned her head away
And had
no other words to say
[Chorus]
I plunged a knife into her breast
And told her
she was going to rest
She cried "Oh Willy, don't murder me
I'm not prepared for
eternity."
I took her by her golden curls
I drug her down to the river-side
An I
there threw her into drown
And I watched her as she floated down
[Chorus]
And
going home between twelve and one
I cried "Lord, what have I've done?"
I've killed the girl
I love
Because she would not marry me
[Chorus] | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
