Banks Of The Ohio (Revisited) by Sonja
Chorus: Only say that you'll be mine, In no other's arms entwine, Down beside where the waters flow, Down by the Banks of the Ohio.
I asked my love to take a walk, Down the aisle to with me to go. Down beside, where the waters flow, Down by the banks of the Ohio.
(Chorus)
I said, "Oh, please don't do me wrong, But I'm near five months along." He said, "How do I know it's mine Just because we have entwined?"
(Chorus)
I held a knife against his shirt, Because he was a total jerk! He cried, "Oh, baby, can't you see That I am unprepared for paternity!"
(Chorus)
I took him by his hairy, big hand, And I led him down where the waters stand. He cried, "Oh, crap!" as I pushed him in And watched him as he floated by.
(Chorus)
I started home 'twixt twelve and one; I cried, "Oh, Ma! What have I done? Killed the only feller I loved Cause he done knocked me up and run!"
