Johnny Cash - Banks of the ohio

^GI asked my love to take a ^D7walk Take a walk just a little ^Gway

And as we walked ^G7along we ^Ctalked Of when would ^Gbe ^D7our wedding-^Gday

And only say that you'll be ^D7mine In no others arms en^Gtwined

Down beside where ^G7the waters ^Cflow Down by the ^Gbanks ^D7of the ^GOhio

I asked her if she'd marry ^D7me And my wife forever ^Gbe

She only turned ^G7her head ^Caway And had no ^Gother ^D7words to ^Gsay

And only say that you'll be ^D7mine In no others arms en^Gtwined

Down beside where ^G7the waters ^Cflow Down by the ^Gbanks ^D7of the ^GOhio

I plunged a knife into her ^D7breast And told her she was going to ^Grest

She cried oh Willy ^G7don't murder ^Cme I'm not pre^Gpared ^D7for eterni^Gty

I took her by her golden ^D7curls And drug her down to the river-^Gside

And I there threw ^G7her in to ^Cdrown And I watched her ^Gas ^D7she floated ^Gdown

And only say that you'll be ^D7mine In no others arms en^Gtwined

Down beside where ^G7the waters ^Cflow Down by the ^Gbanks ^D7of the ^GOhio

And going home between twelve and ^D7one I cried oh Lord what have I've ^Gdone

I've killed the only ^G7girl I ^Clove

Because she ^Gwould ^D7not marry ^Gme And only say that you'll be ^D7mine

In no others arms en^Gtwined Down beside where ^G7the waters ^Cflow

Down by the ^Gbanks ^D7of the ^GOhio
