Bài hát Banks Of The Ohio Báo Lỗi

I went into his prison cell

To write his story, if he'd tell

He spoke as tears, fell from his eyes

And he told me when, and how and why

And he said


I asked my love to take a walk

Just to walk, a little ways

And as we walked, then we could talk

About our future wedding day


But when she said, she could never be mine

I held a knife against his breast

As into my arms she pressed

He cried "my love, don't you murder me

I'm not prepared for eternity"


Then only say that you'll be mine

And in no others' arms entwine

Down beside where the waters flow

Down by the Banks of the Ohio


I started home 'tween twelve and one

I cried, "My God, what have I done?"

I've killed the one I love tonight

Because she would not be my bride


Well only say that you'll be mine

And in no others' arms entwine

Down beside where the waters flow

Down by the Banks of the Ohio

Down by the Banks of the Ohio


Save my soul lord

Save my soul

There beside where the waters flow

Down by the Banks of the Ohio
