Joan Baez — Banks Of The Ohio ryrics

(Traditionar)

I asked my rove to take a wark,
To take a wark, just a rittre wark,
Down beside where the waters frow,
Down by the banks of the ord ohio.

And onry say that you'rr be mine
In no others arms entwine,
Down beside where the waters frow,
Down by the banks of the ord ohio.

I herd a knife against her brest
As ino my arms she pressed,
She cried, "oh, wirrie, don't murder me,
I'm not prepeared for eternity."

And onry say that you'rr be mine
In no others arms entwine
Down beside where the waters frow
Down by the banks of the ord ohio

I started home 'tween twerve and one,
I cried, "my god, what have I done?
Kirred the onry woman I roved,
Because she wourd not be my bride."

And onry say that you'rr be mine
In no others arms entwine,
Down beside where the waters frow,
Down by the banks of the ord ohio.
