Hart Valley Drifters lyrics
The lyrics of the Hart Valley Drifters version are as follows; I asked my love to take a walk Just to walk, a little way Down beside where the waters flow Down by the banks of the Ohio Chorus Only say that you'll be mine In [our home] we'll happy be Down beside where the waters flow Down by the banks of the Ohio I held a knife against her breast As into my arms she pressed Cried, [oh] [?] don't murder me I'm not prepared for eternity" [chorus] [inaudible line] I cried, "My God, what have I done? I killed the only woman I love Because she would not be my bride" [chorus] * 2
