Текст песни Banks Of The Ohio (Johnny Cash) с переводом

I asked my love to take a walk

Just a little ways with me

And as we walked and we would talk

All about our weddingday

And only say that you’ll be mine

In no others arms entwined

Down beside where the waters flow

On the banks of the Ohio

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

And only say that you’ll be mine

In no others arms entwined

Down beside where the waters flow

On the banks of the Ohio

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

I drug her down to the river-side

An I there threw her into drown

And I watched her as she floated down

And only say that you’ll be mine

In no others arms entwined

Down beside where the waters flow

On the banks of the Ohio

And going home between twelve and one

I cried «Lord, what have I’ve done?»

I’ve killed the girl I love

Because she would not marry me

And only say that you’ll be mine

In no others arms entwined

Down beside where the waters flow

On the banks of the Ohio
