I asked my love to take a walk,
           G7                  C
To take a walk, just a little walk,
        C7                     F
Down beside where the waters flow,
             C    G         C
Down by the banks of the Ohio.


          C                  G
And only say that you'll be mine
      G7              C
In no others arms entwine,
        C7                     F
Down beside where the waters flow,
             C    G         C
Down by the banks of the Ohio.

I'm not prepeared for eternity."

And in no others arms entwine,

Down beside where the waters flow,

Because she would not be my bride."

Down beside where the waters flow,
