Pete Seeger - Banks of the Ohio lyrics

I asked my love to take a walk Just to walk a little way And as we walked, and as we talked Of our golden wedding day 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 Cryin' "Willy oh Willy don't you murder me For I'm unprepared for eternity" Chorus I took her by her lily-white hand I led her down where the waters stand I picked her up and I pitched her in And watched her as she floated down Chorus I started back home, 'twixt twelve and one Cryin' "my God, what have I done? I've murdered the only woman I love Because she would not be my bride" Chorus
