I asked my [D]love to take a [A]walk, to take a [A7]walk, just a little [D]walk.   
Down besi[D7]de where the waters [G]flow, down by the b[D]anks [A7]of the old Oh[D]io.

{soc}   
And only [D]say that you'll be [A]mine in no other's [A7]arms entw[D]ine.
Down besi[D7]de where the waters [G]flow, down by the [D]banks[A7] of the old Oh[D]io

I held a [D]knife against her [A]breast as into my [A7]arms she [D]pressed, she cried, 
"Oh [D7]Willy, don't murder [G]me, I'm not prepa[D]red [A7]for eternit[D]y".

I started [D]home 'tween twelve and [A]one, I cried, "Oh my [A7]god! What have I [D]done? 
Killed the [D7]only woman I [G]loved because she [D]would not [A7]be my [D]bride".
