Banks of the Ohio (Outtake Acetate 1983)

I asked my love to take a walk To be alone so we could talk cnd only say that you'll be mine In no other's arms will you lie I held a knife against her breast She buried her face in my chest cnd she said no don't murder me ‘Cause I'm not prepared for eternity Down beside where the waters flow By the banks of the Ohio Down beside where the waters flow By the banks of the Ohio It's too late now, I've made my mind We'll be together for all time Cause I'd rather kill her with my knife Than hear her say I won't be your wife I stabbed my love until she died Because she wouldn't be my bride cnd I dragged her to where the waters flow cnd I threw her into the Ohio Down beside where the waters flow By the banks of the Ohio Down beside where the waters flow By the banks of the Ohio
