Let's Chase Each Other Around the Room

Lyrics

I asked my love to take a walk
 To take a walk just a little ways
 And as we walked then we would talk
 All about our wedding day
 Only say that you'll be mine
 In no other arms entwine
 Down beside where the waters flow
 Down by the banks of the Ohio
 I asked her will she marry me
 And my wife forever be
 She only turned her head away
 And had no other words to say
 I held my knife against her breast
 And told her she was going to rest
 She cried, "Oh Willy! Don't murder me!
 I'm not prepared for eternity"
 I took her by her lily white hand
 And led her down the bank of sand
 And there I threw her in to drown
 And watched her as she floated down
 And going home between 12 and one
 I cried, "Dear Lord, what have I done?
 I've killed the only girl I love
 Because she would not marry me"
