         A               E                         A
Come my love lets take a walk just a little while away

                        D         A     E           A
While we walk along we talk talk about our wedding day,

      A                  E                           A
Only say that you’ll be mine in our home we’ll happy be,

                           D              A    E        A
Down beside where waters flow down on the banks of the Ohio,
[Verse]
           A                 E                                  A
I drew my knife across her throat and to by breast she gently pressed

                                 D           A     E                A
Oh please oh please don’t murder me for I’m not prepare to die you see

                A                        E                               A
I’ve taken her down by the little white hand a little down in a bed of sand

                        D             A     E             A
There I threw her into drown and was turned as she flowted down,
[Verse]
           A                       E                                  A
Returning home between twelve and one thinkin’ lord what a deed I've done

                                 D            A    E             A
I murdered the girl I loved you see, because she would not marry me,

      A                  E                           A
Only say that you’ll be mine in our home we’ll happy be,

                           D              A    E        A
Down beside where waters flow down on the banks of the Ohio,

           A                   E                                       A        
The next day as I returned in home I met the sheriff standing in the door

                              D                             A
Said “my man come with me and go down to the banks of the Ohio”,

      A                  E                           A
Only say that you’ll be mine in our home we’ll happy be,

                           D              A    E        A
Down beside where waters flow down on the banks of the Ohio,

            A    E        A                A    E        A
