I ask my love to take a walk, to take a walk, just a little walk down beside where the water
flows, down by the banks of the Ohio, and only say that you'll be mine, if no other's arms
aren't one, down beside.
Where the water flows, down by the banks of the Ohio, when you have no one to love you,
and no one to call your own.
Please.
Please forgive me Linda darling, for I know I've done you wrong, it's been many weeks
now since we parted, and this world seems cold and grey.
Please forgive me Linda darling, for I know I've done you wrong, and this world seems cold and grey.
You never think of me, my darling, do you ever breathe my name.
Goodbye little darling we're partying, you know it's hard to say goodbye.
Goodbye little darling, we're partying, you know it's hard to say goodbye.




You'll find someone new, and they'll be good to you
Goodbye, little darling, goodbye
So ask my love to take a walk
To take a walk, just a little walk
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the bay of the Ohio
Down by the bay of the Ohio
Down by the bay of the Ohio
