BANKS OF THE OHIO - Revisited - BLACK HORSE SALOON

James Michael Taylor

I asked my love to take a walk
Just a little old walk. Just a little old walk
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
If you’ll just say that you’ll be mine
And in no other’s arms entwine
Down by the banks where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
She cried, “Don’t murder me.”
Then only say that you’ll be mine
And in no other’s arms entwine
I started home tween twelve and one
Cried, “My God, what have I done.”
Killed the only woman I love
Because she would not be my bride
Then only say that you’ll be mine…
