I asked my Dlove to take a Awalk
Take a A7walk just a little Dways
And as we D7walked, along we Gtalk Gm
All would Dbe our A7wedding Dday
And only Dsay that you'll be Amine
In no A7others arms entDwined
Down beD7side where the waters Gflow Gm
Down by the Dbanks A7of the OhiDo
I asked her if she'd marry me
And my wife forever be
She only turned her head away
And had no other words to say
I plunged a knife into her breast
And told her she was going to rest
She cried "Oh Willy, don't murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity"
I took her by her golden curls
And drug her down to the river side
And there I threw her into drown
And I watched her as she floated down
And going home between twelve and one
I cried "Oh Lord, what have I've done?"
I've killed the only girl I love
Because she would not marry me
