I asked my love, to take a walk, to take a walk, just a little walk.

Down beside where the waters flow, down by the banks of the Ohio.

And only say, that you'll be mine.

I held a knife against her breast, as into my arms she pressed.
Willie, oh Willie, don't murder me, I'm not prepared for eternity.
And only say, that you'll be mine....
I started home 'twixt tvvelve and one, crying my god, what have I done?
Killed the only woman I loved, because she would not be my bride.
And only say, that you'll be mine....
