D D
D                          A7
 I asked my love to take a walk

A7                         D
 Just a walk just a little way

D       D7                     G
 Down beside where the waters flow

G             D    A7         D
 Down by the banks  of the Ohio
[Chorus]
D                         A7
 And only say that you'll be mine

A7                    D
 In no other arms entwined

D        D7                    G
 Down beside where the waters flow

G             D    A7         D
 Down by the banks  of the Ohio

D                              A7
 I held my knife against her breast

A7                    D
 As into my arms she pressed

D               D7                   G
 She cried "oh, Willie, don't murder me.

G             D    A7         D
 I am not prepared  for eternity."
[Chorus]
D                         A7
 And only say that you'll be mine

A7                    D
 In no other arms entwined

D        D7                    G
 Down beside where the waters flow

G             D    A7         D
 Down by the banks  of the Ohio
[Interlude]
D                                 A7
 I started home b'ween twelve and one

A7                           D
 I cried my God what have I done

D                D7            G
 I've killed the only woman I loved

G             D    A7           D
 Because she would  not be my bride
[Chorus]
D                         A7
 And only say that you'll be mine

A7                    D
 In no other arms entwined

D        D7                    G
 Down beside where the waters flow

G             D    A7         D
 Down by the banks  of the Ohio
[End]
G             D    A7         D
 Down by the banks  of the Ohio
