As into my arms he pressed
He cried, "My love, don't you murder me"

Down by the banks of the Ohio (the Ohio)

I cried, "My God, what have I done?"
I've killed the only man I love
He would not take me for his bride

Down beside, where the waters flow (where waters flow)
Down by the banks of the Ohio (the Ohio)
Down by the banks of the Ohio
