the banks of the ohio - earl scruggs lyrics

Loading...

i asked my love to take a walk
just a little way’s with me
an’ as we walked
then we would talk
all about our wedding day

[chorus]
“darlin’, say that you’ll be mine;
in our home we’ll happy be
down beside where the waters flow
on the banks of the ohio.”
i took her by her pretty white hand
i led her down the banks of sand
i plunged her in
where she would drown
an’ watched her as she floated down

[chorus]
returnin’ home between twelve and one
thinkin’, lord, what a deed i’ve done;
i’d k!lled the girl
i love, you see
because she would not marry me
the very next day, at half past four
the sheriff walked right to my door;
he says, “young man
don’t try to run
you’ll pay for this awful crime you’ve don.”

[chorus]
