I asked my love to take a walk
Take a walk just a little ways
And as we walked, along we talk
All would be our wedding day

Darling, say that you'll be mine
In no others arms entwined
Down beside where the waters flow
On the banks of the Ohio

I asked her if she'd marry me
And my wife forever be
She only turned her head away
And had no other words to say

Darling, say that you'll be mine
In no others arms entwined
Down beside where the waters flow
On the banks of the Ohio

I took her by her little hand
And let her down where the waters ... (?)
There I plunged her in to drown
And watched her as she floated down

Darling, say that you'll be mine
In no others arms entwined
Down beside where the waters flow
On the banks of the Ohio

And going home between twelve and one
I cried "Oh Lord, what have I've done?"
I've killed the only girl I love
Because she would not be my wife

Darling, say that you'll be mine
In no others arms entwined
Down beside where the waters flow
On the banks of the Ohio
On the banks of the Ohio
