I asked my love to take a walk,
And a walk she took
with me.
As we walked I gently talked
Of when our wedding day would be.
Then
she said she'd never be mine,
And her home would never be
Where the bright waters
flow
On the banks of the old Pedee.
From my breast I drew e knife,
And she gave
a shrilling cry,
"Oh Willie dear, don't murder me,
For I am not prepared to
die."
Then I took her lily white hands
And swung her round and again
around,
Until she fell in the waters cruel
And then I watched my true love
drown.
"Oh father dear, I've done a deed,
And a deed it is to me
To have
drowned my own true love
On the banks of the old Pedee."
Tune not supplied; sings to
Banks of the Ohio
