I asked my love to take a walk Just to walk a little ways As we walk or maybe talk All about our wedding day And only say that you'll be mine In our home we'll happy be Down beside where the waters flow On the banks of the Ohio Well, I took her by her lily-white hand And dragged her down that bank of sand There I threw her into drown I watched her as she floated down And only say that you'll be mine in our home happy be down beside where the waters flow on the banks of the yoke Well, the very next morning, about half past four, sheriff's men knocked at my door.
