[C#] Come my love, let's [G#] take a walk, just a little, wait [C#] a wait.
While we walk along [F#] we'll talk, [C#] talk about [G#]
[C#] our wedding day.
Only say that [G#] you'll be mine and in our home [C#] we'll happy be.
Down beside where the [F#] waters flow, [C#] down on the [G#] banks [A#] of [C#] the Ohio.
I drew my knife across [G#] her throat and to my breast she [C#] gently prayed.
Oh please, oh please don't [F#] murder me, for [C#] I'm unprepared [G#] [C#] to die you see.
I've taken her by her lily [G#] white hands, I let her down and [C#] I bade her stand.
There I plunged her [F#] into drown and [C#] washed her as [G#] she [C#] floated down.
Returning home between [G#] twelve and one, thinking [D#m] all the [C#] deed I've done.
I murdered a girl [F#] you see, [C#] because she would not marry me.
Only say that [G#] you'll be mine and in our home [C#] we'll happy be.
Down beside where [F#] the waters flow, [C#] down on the [G#] banks of [C#] the Ohio.
Next day as I [G#] returning home, I met the sheriff [F#] standing [C#] at the door.
He said young man, come [F#] with me and go, [C#] down on the [C] banks of the [C#] Ohio.
Only say that [G#] you'll be mine and in our home [C#] we'll happy be.
Down beside where the [F#] waters flow, [C#] down on the [G#] banks [A#] of [C#] the Ohio.
