Kod:
          G               D
I asked my love, to take a walk
        Am    D7             G
Take a walk, just a little ways,
        G7                    C
Down beside where the waters flow,
              G    D            G
Down by the banks of the Ohio.


            G                   D 
Then only say, that you'll be mine,
                Am    D7    G
In no o  thers arms entwined,
       G7                     C
Down beside where the waters flow,
             G    D          G
Down by the banks of the Ohio.



         G                 D 
I held a knife against her breast 
                Am    D7    G
As gently in my arms she pressed, 
         G7                             C   
Crying "Willie, Oh Willie! Don't murder me 
          G        D        G    
For I'm unprepared for eternity!" 
 
 

           G                 D7 
I took her by her lily white hand 
                  Am    D7         G
And led her down where the waters stand; 
      G7                        C    
I picked her up and pitched her in 
                  G     D       G    
And watched her as she floated down. 
 
 

          G                      D7 
I started home 'twixt twelve and one 
                Am    D7        G
Cryin' "Oh my God! What have I done? 
         G7                     C    
I've murdered the only woman I love 
              G        D     G    
Because she would not be my bride.
