Snakefarm - Banks of the Ohio lyrics

I asked my love to go with me And take a walk a little way And as we walked, and as we talked About our golden wedding day Then only say that you'll be mine And in no other arms entwine Down beside, where the waters flow Down by the banks of the Ohio I asked your mother for you dear And she said you were too young And only say that you'll be mine And happiness in my home you'll find I held a knife against your breast And gently in my arms you pressed Crying "Baby, Oh Baby! Don't murder me I am unprepared for eternity!" Goin down goin down down down down Goin down goin down down down down I took you by your lily hand And led you down where the waters stand; I picked you up and I pitched you in And watched you as you floated down I started home 'tween twelve and one Cryin' "My God! What have I done? I've k**ed the only one that I ever loved Because you would not marry me." Then only say that you'll be mine And in no other arms entwine Down beside, where the waters flow Down by the banks of the Ohio Then only say that you'll be mine And in no other arms entwine Down beside, where the waters flow Down by the banks of the Ohio Goin down goin down down down down
