Lyrics - Banks Of Ohio by Joan Baez

I
ASKED
MY
LOVE
TO
TAKE
A
WALK,
TO
TAKE
A
WALK,
JUST
A
LITTLE
WALK,
DOWN
BESIDE
WHERE
THE
WATERS
FLOW,
DOWN
BY
THE
BANKS
OF
THE
OLD
OHIO.
AND
ONLY
SAY
THAT
YOU`
LL
BE
MINEIN
NO
OTHERS
ARMS
ENTWINE,
DOWN
BESIDE
WHERE
THE
WATERS
FLOW,
DOWN
BY
THE
BANKS
OF
THE
OLD
OHIO.
I
HELD
A
KNIFE
AGAINST
HER
BRESTAS
INO
MY
ARMS
SHE
PRESSED,
SHE
CRIED, "
OH,
WILLIE,
DON`
T
MURDER
ME,
I`
M
NOT
PREPEARED
FOR
ETERNITY."
AND
ONLY
SAY
THAT
YOU`
LL
BE
MINEIN
NO
OTHERS
ARMS
ENTWINEDOWN
BESIDE
WHERE
THE
WATERS
FLOWDOWN
BY
THE
BANKS
OF
THE
OLD
OHIOI
STARTED
HOME `
TWEEN
TWELVE
AND
ONE,
I
CRIED, "
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
MINEIN
NO
OTHERS
ARMS
ENTWINE,
DOWN
BESIDE
WHERE
THE
WATERS
FLOW,
DOWN
BY
THE
BANKS
OF
THE
OLD
OHIO.
