Olivia Newton-John - If Not for You Released: 04/01/1971 Banks Of The Ohio Help Me Make It Through the Night If If I Gotta Leave If Not for You If You Could Read My Mind In a Station Love Song Lullaby Me And Bobby McGee No Regrets Where Are You Going To My Love

(Traditional)

I asked my love to take a walk
To take a walk, just a little walk
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio

And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio

I held a knife against his breast
As into my arms he pressed
He cried "my love, don't you murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity"

I wandered home 'tween twelve and one
I cried, "My God, what have I done?"
I've killed the only man I love
He would not take me for his bride

And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
