Verse 1:

I asked my (D)love to take a (A7)walk
To take a (E7)walk, (A)just a little (D)walk
Down (D7)beside where the waters(G) flow(Gm)
Down by the (D)banks(A) of the old (D)Ohio

Chorus:

And only (D)say that you’ll be (A7)mine
In no (Em)others(A) arms (D)entwine
Down (D7)beside where the waters (G)flow(Gm)
Down by the (D)banks(A) of the old (D)Ohio

Verse 2:(Repeat chords of ver 1)

I held a knife against her breast
As into my arms she pressed
She cried, “Oh Willie, don’t murder me
I’m not prepared for eternity”

Chorus:

And only (D)say that you’ll be (A7)mine
In no (Em)others(A) arms (D)entwine
Down (D7)beside where the waters (G)flow(Gm)
Down by the (D)banks(A) of the old (D)Ohio

Verse 3:

I started home between twelve and one
I cried, “My God, what have I done?
Killed the only woman I loved
Because she would not be my bride”

Chorus:

And only (D)say that you’ll be (A7)mine
In no (Em)others(A) arms (D)entwine
Down (D7)beside where the waters (G)flow(Gm)
Down by the (D)banks(A) of the old (D)Ohio
