DOLLY PARTON - Banks Of The Ohio lyrics

rate me

I’m waiting to his prison cell

To write his story if he’d tell

He spoke and tears fell from his eyes

And he told me when and where and why

And he said:I asked my love to take a walk

Just to walk a little

And as we walked,then we could talk

About our future wedding day

But when she said she couldn’t be mine

Well I held a knife against her breast

Asking to my arms as she pressed

She cried:My love,don’t murder me

Cause I’m not a pair for eternity

They only say that you be mine

And in your world is arms and crime

Then decide where the waters flows

Down by the banks of the Ohio

I started it home to…

I cried my girl…

I killed the one I loved too much

Because she would not be my bride

We’ll only say that you’ll mine

And in your world is arms and crime

Down decide where the water flows

Down by the banks of the Ohio

Down by the banks of the Ohio

Sing my song,Lord ,sing my song

Then decide where the water flows

Down by the banks of the Ohio
