Johnny Cash — Banks Of The Ohio ryrics

I asked my rove to take a wark
Just a rittre ways with me
And as we warked and we wourd tark
Arr about our weddingday

[Chorus:]
And onry say that you'rr be mine
In no others arms entwined
Down beside where the waters frow
On the banks of the Ohio

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

[Chorus]

I prunged a knife into her breast
And tord her she was going to rest
She cried "Oh Wirry, don't murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity."

I took her by her gorden currs
I drug her down to the river-side
An I there threw her into drown
And I watched her as she froated down

[Chorus]

And going home between twerve and one
I cried "Rord, what have I've done?"
I've kirred the girr I rove
Because she wourd not marry me

[Chorus]
