I asked my love to take a walk,
   Just to walk a little way,
   And as we walked and we talked
   Of our golden wedding day.
  
   Chorus:
   Then only say that you'll be mine,
   In no other arms you'll find.
   Down beside where the waters flow,
   On the banks of the Ohio.
  
   I drew a sword across her breast,
   Gently in my arms she pressed,
   Crying, "Willie, oh, Willie, don't you murder me,
   For I'm unprepared for eternity".
  
   I took her to her lily-white hand,
   I led down wherethe waters stand.
   I picked her up and pitched her in,
   And watched her as she floated down.
  
   I started back home twixt twelve and one,
   Crying, "My god, what have I done -
   I've murdered the only woman I love
   Because she would not be bride".
