Cat. #1105 (MFH #36) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on April 9, 1970
VERSE 1
I asked my love, to take a walk
Take a walk, a little way
As we walked, we'd have a talk
All about our weddin' day
VERSE 2
I say my love, that you be mine
An' in my home, you happy be
Down beside where th water flows
Down by th banks of th Ohio
VERSE 3
I took her by her little white hand
An' pushed her in th river to drown
Saw th bubbles comin' up
An' I watched until she floated down
VERSE 4
Then only say, that you'll be mine
An' in no others arms entwine
Down beside where th water flow
Down on th banks of th Ohio
