Banks of Ohio - Joan Beaz
CG7C I asked my love, to take a walk, to take a walk, just a little walk. C7FCG7C Down beside where the waters flow, down by the banks of the Ohio.
CG7 And only say, that you'll be mine. C In no others arms entwine. C7F Down beside where the waters flow, CG7C down by the banks of the Ohio.
I held a knife against her breast, as into my arms she pressed. Willie, oh Willie, don't murder me, I'm not prepared for eternity.
And only say, that you'll be mine....
I started home 'twixt tvvelve and one, crying my god, what have I done? Killed the only woman I loved, because she would not be my bride.
And only say, that you'll be mine.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sergio Baptista Salgueiro [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
