Newton-John, Olivia - Banks Of The Ohio Lyrics
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 Ohio
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
I held a knife against his breast
As into my arms he pressed
He cried "my love, don't you murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity"
I wandered home 'tween twelve and one
I've killed the only man I love
He would not take me for his 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 Ohio

Remake of a classic country and bluegrass tune also recorded by the likes of Bill Monroe, Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash.
What a wonderful time, best Music!

One of my favorites. I love listening to this song from time to time
It sounds like she took Danny Zuko down to the Ohio River and then murdered him for not agreeing to marry her. Maybe he wasn't "The One That She Wanted" after all. Oooh Oooh Oooh! LOL
Hungary 😍
Fantastik
I love this song
"Banks Of The Ohio" lyrics
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 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 Ohio
I held a knife against his breast
As into my arms he pressed
He cried "my love, don't you murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity"
I wandered home 'tween twelve and one
I cried, "My God, what have I done?"
I've killed the only man I love
He would not take me for his 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 Ohio
hang on Olivia, don't give up. we cannot miss you
2019 in still lovely
unbelivable, its a good Heartbreaker song dident know newton sang this kind of songs its actuly brilliant her voice is unbelivable
She started with country ballads and it drew attention in the U.S. I liked this better than the later stuff. If you love me, let me know is what grabbed me.
she is the best...…………….john effens
Love it! <3
Beautiful Olivia

She is a Cutie... Nice song and very good 😘😘😘

There are songs that do not lose their charm and beauty over many decades - this is certainly one of them! Thanks so much for posting it from Germany!
Talent and Class. Almost impossible to duplicate because of the bass singer which was not planned or expected but thankfully marketed as is to great success.

Lovely voice love you Olivia always the best ever
I prefer Neca Falk's version
I just found out that this song is used in funerals but it's translated into Icelandic and it's so beautiful and makes you cry actually. My mother was half American and of all from Ohio and we didn't know that when the song was chosen.
Love the lyrics
Beautiful Aussie girl - Olivia Newton John. Always Australia's Olivia <3
Shoot, this is one of Olivia Newton - John’s best works!

Hate this!
light my light, the light Dances🙏🙏🙏🌝🌝🌝🌞🌳🌻🌳🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌳
You are my inspiration,
love the pulse on the rhythm guitar. something else.
Same here!!!
I have mild Autism and a lady I work with used to be OK with me regardless of this, but now she hates me and won't speak to me anymore because of what I've got.
She's pleased I've got it and blames me for having it.
Furthermore, if she saw me drowning in the Ohio river, waving my arms and shouting "help, " the unkind woman would just leave me there to drown.
An excellent song, got to No.6 in the UK Charts back in Autumn 1971.
CHRIS, DON'T BE SAD - THIS LADY IS TOO SCARED TO STAND UP FOR HER BELIEVES. IT IS NOT EASY TO UNDERSTAND THE DISADVANTAGES SOME PEOPLE SUFFER - BUT ONE CAN LEARN KINDNESS AND TOLERANCE. NOT EASY, SO, PLEASE ON BEHALF OF ALL WHO GIVE YOU A HARD TIME, FORGIVE US FOR BEING STUPID AND PREJUDICED. THANKS FOR YOUR GENEROSITY OF SPIRIT. MUSIC HELPS SO MUCH TO REACH THIS COMPASSION AND UNDERSTANDING...
I've struggle with mental illness, along with my physical health, my entire life. It's mind boggling how other people can influence the thoughts of those you grow close to. I hope you can find someone to lift you up, instead of bringing you down. I was fortunate enough to find such a person.
Sounds like this lady is a total Bitch!
Had this 45. Uni Records.
Song is very pretty
With a fucked up story
How can a woman song so dreamfull good, maybe only Olivia, thanks

I have lived here in OHIO all of my life, and know MANY of her songs; this one I had NEVER heard until now; & I'm 47!
I used to hear this song, as a child, in the 60's. I don't know who sang it, back then. This version was from the early 70's. It's perfect! I've tried to find the version I originally heard, which was sung by a man, but I'll settle, happily, for this one.
A mai világban,ilyen fantasztikus énenekesek nincsenek ! Gyönyörű hang és a szöveg !
Beautifull. I love this song.
Great song
De nagy szám volt
I hate this song. These sort of songs are why I hate country music!
These sort of comments are why we hate you....... Twat...
Georgiarose777 you are a idiot so go away twat

sue price w
It's these NOT theses.
@Lindsay Evans and HEAR
Uh oh...spelling and grammar police. I agree Sue. Good music.
Just Listen. Nothing else...
I love the song . Great backing vocals.
I love this song. The three hundredths who had clicked.
down by tha banks of tha ol Frio TEXAS version
beauty music
great, but dolly partons version is better.
Nothing against the song, nothing against Olivia, but unfortunately, like a lot of 70's recordings, this is overly produced, and overly orchestrated, building from tuneful to ludicrous by the last verse. Dial it back, guys! Less is more.
Are you people serious? This junk is crap. It isn't even art.
Yes we are serious, so if you don't like it move your troll ass on down the line.
the best she ever covered
Fantastic !
IS THIS MILEY CYRUS HA HA YOU'VE GOT TO BE JOKING WHAT HAPPENED TO MUSIC BRING IT BACK PLEASE
prachtig nummer, deze draai ik vaak af op YouTube. Met goede Bass erbij is hij op zijn mooist
Jan Strijker easy
hey don't disregard the easy way way of learning music. that's easies song ever to learn.
Slovenian remake:Dravski most,Neca Falk
Thank you for that pointer. It is a great rendition but so often not to be found.
Ahhh, The bass sound of Mike Sammes....
I know, right? I even imitate him when I sing this song
Dieser Song ist für die Ewigkeit gemacht .
