1. I asked my love to take a walk,

R: And only say you would be mine

in no others arms entwined,

down by thebanks of the Ohio.

2. I held the knife, against their breasts

and told her she is going to rest

down beside, where the water's flow

because she would not be my wife

R: And only say...
