The Banks Of The Ohio - Doc Watson
[NC] I asked my [G] love to take a [D] walk
To take a [D7] walk just a little [G] walk
Down be[G7]side where the waters [C] flow
Down by the [G] banks [D7] of the Ohi[G]o
[NC] And only [G] say that you'll be [D] mine
In no [D7] others' arms en[G]twine
Down be[D7]side where the waters [C] flow
Down by the [G] banks [D7] of the Ohi[G]o
[NC] I held a [G] knife against his [D] breast
As in[D7]to my arms he [G] pressed
He cried my [D7] love don't you murder [c] me
I'm not pre[G]pared [D7] for eterni[C]ty
[NC] And only [G] say that you'll be [D] mine
In no [D7] others' arms en[G]twine
Down be[D7]side where the waters [C] flow
Down by the [G] banks [D7] of the Ohi[G]o
[NC] I wandered [G] home 'tween twelve and [D] one
I cried my [D7] God what have I [G] done
I've killed the [G7] only man I [C] love
He would not [G] take me [D7] for his [G] bride
[NC] And only [G] say that you'll be [D] mine
In no [D7] others' arms en[G]twine
Down be[G7]side where the waters [C] flow
Down by the [G] banks [D7] of the Ohi[G]o
[C] Down by the [G] banks [D7] of the Ohi[G]o
