Johnny Cash – Banks Of The Ohio Lyrics  Share

From Johnny Cash's album: Cash Unearthed Disc 1

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
[ Banks Of The Ohio lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/j/johnny-cash/banks-of-ohio/ ]
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]
