I asked my Clove to take a G7walk
To take a walk, just a little Cwalk
Down beC7side where the waters Fflow
Down by the C banks G7 - - of the OhiCo

And only Csay that you'll be G7mine
In no others' arms entCwine
Down beC7side where the waters Fflow
Down by the C banks G7 - - of the OhiCo

Vers 2

I held a Cknife against his G7breast
As into my arms he Cpressed
He cried "my C7love, don't you murder Fme
I'm not preCpared G7- - for eterniCty"

Vers 3

I wandered Chome 'tween twelve and G7one
I cried, "My God, what have I Cdone?"
I've C7killed the only man I Flove
He would not Ctake me G7for his Cbride

Chorus

And only Csay that you'll be G7mine
In no others' arms entCwine
Down beC7side where the waters Fflow
Down by the C banks G7 - - of the OhiCo
