Текст песни Banks of the Ohio (Porter Wagoner) с переводом

I asked my love to take a walk

just a walk a little way

as we talk about our future wedding day;

and when she told me she could never be mine

I pressed a knife against her breast

as into my arms she pressed,

she cried oh please dont murder me

I’m not prepared for eternety.

Only say that you be mine,

in no others arms entwine,

down besides where the waters flow,

down by the banks of the Ohio.

I started home between twelf and one,

I cried my god, what have I done,

I murdered the only girl I loved

because she would not be my bride.

Only say that youll be mine,

in no others arms entwine,

down beside where the waters flow

down by the banks of the Ohio.

down by the banks of the Ohio.

Ende
