Banks Of Ohio Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

I asked my love[C] ,
to take a walk[G] ,
with me[G7] ,
just a little way[C] ,
and as we walked[C7] ,
around she told[F] ,
oh, when would be[C] , [G] ,
our wedding day[C] .

R: And only say[C] ,
you would be mine[G] ,
in no ot[G7]hers,
arms ent[C]wined,
down besi[C7]de,
where the water's[F]flow,
down by the[C]banks[G] ,
of the Ohi[C]o.

I held the knife,
against their breasts,
and told her she,
is going to rest,
down beside,
where the water's flow,
down by the banks,
of the Ohio.

R: And only say....

I drug her down,
by the water side,
and told her she,
was going to die,
and then I threw,
her into drawn,
and I watched her eyes,
she flowed it down.

R: And only say....

I started home,
between twelve and one,
I cried oh Lord,
what have I done,
I murdered the only girl I love,
because she would not be my wife

R: And only say...
