Banks of the Ohio

This is a 19th century Appalachian murder ballad. It shares some similarities with Pretty Polly and The Knoxville Girl. I've adapted a version of this ballad with 21st century lyrics that I'll share in a couple weeks. I asked my love to take a walk just a little ways with me and as we walked we would talk all about our wedding day darling say that you'll be mine in no others arms entwined down beside where the waters flow on the banks of the Ohio I held my knife against her breast as into my arms she pressed she cried Willie don't you murder me I'm unprepared for eternity I took her by her pretty little hand dragged her down that bank of sand there I threw her into drown watched her as she floated down returning home tween twelve and one thinking Lord what deed I've done I killed the girl I love you see all because she would not marry me the very next day at half past four the sheriff walked right through my door he said young man you got to go down the banks of the Ohio #folkmusic #acoustic #countrymusic #murderballad
