Joan Baez - Banks Of The Ohio (Folksingers 'Round Harvard Square)

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 OLD 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 OLD OHIO.

I HELD A KNIFE AGAINST HER BREST
AS INO MY ARMS SHE PRESSED,
SHE CRIED, "OH, WILLIE, DON`T MURDER ME,
I`M NOT PREPEARED FOR ETERNITY."

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 OLD OHIO

I STARTED HOME `TWEEN TWELVE AND ONE,
I CRIED, "MY GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE?
KILLED THE ONLY WOMAN I LOVED,
BECAUSE SHE WOULD NOT BE MY 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 OLD OHIO.

Joan Baez - Banks Of The Ohio (03:06)
Em muitas das mais belas baladas inglesas, geralmente o rapaz mata a garota para evitar o casamento
e/ou a paternidade (como em Pretty Polly, Oma Wise e The Oxford Girl), mas o mais freqüente é que
faça isso com objetivo de roubar (como em Willow Garden) ou por razoes desconhecidas (como em Tom
Dula). Muito poucas vezes, da forma como acontece em Florella e em Banks of the Ohio, o motivo é o
ciúme. This sound is low quality because it was extracted from the second LongPlay of Joan Baez ...
