Banks Of The Ohio — текст песни (Johnny Cash)

I asked my love to take a walk
Just a little ways with me
And as we walked and we would talk
All about our weddingday

(chorus)
And only say that you`ll be mine
In no others arms entwined
Down beside where the waters flow
On the banks of the Ohio

I asked her if she`d marry me
And my wife forever be
She only turned her head away
And had no other words to say

(chorus)

I plunged a knife into her breast
And told her she was going to rest
She cried "Oh Willy, don`t murder me
I`m not prepared for eternity."

I took her by her golden curls
I drug her down to the river-side
An I there threw her into drown
And I watched her as she floated down

(chorus)

And going home between twelve and one
I cried "Lord, what have I`ve done?"
I`ve killed the girl I love
Because she would not marry me

(chorus)
