I went into his prison cell
To write his story, if he'd tell
He spoke as tears, fell from his eyes
And he told me when, and how and why
And he said
I asked my love to take a walk
Just to walk, a little ways
And as we walked, then we could talk
About our future wedding day
But when she said, she could never be mine
Well I held a knife against her breast
As into my arms she pressed
She cried "my love, don't you murder me
'Cause I'm not prepared for eternity"
Then only say that you'll be mine
And in no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
I started home twixt twelve and one
I cried, "My God, what have I done?"
I've killed the one I love tonight
Because she would not be my bride
Well only say that you'll be mine
And in no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
Down by the banks of the Ohio
Save my soul Lord
Save my soul
There beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
I went into his prison cell
Je suis entré dans sa cellule de prison
To write his story, if he'd tell
Pour écrire son histoire, s'il voulait bien la raconter
He spoke as tears, fell from his eyes
Il a parlé alors que des larmes tombaient de ses yeux
And he told me when, and how and why
Et il m'a dit quand, comment et pourquoi
And he said
Et il a dit
I asked my love to take a walk
J'ai demandé à mon amour de faire une promenade
Just to walk, a little ways
Juste pour marcher, un petit peu
And as we walked, then we could talk
Et pendant que nous marchions, nous pourrions parler
About our future wedding day
De notre futur jour de mariage
But when she said, she could never be mine
Mais quand elle a dit, qu'elle ne pourrait jamais être mienne
Well I held a knife against her breast
Eh bien, j'ai tenu un couteau contre sa poitrine
As into my arms she pressed
Alors qu'elle se pressait dans mes bras
She cried "my love, don't you murder me
Elle a crié "mon amour, ne me tue pas
'Cause I'm not prepared for eternity"
Parce que je ne suis pas prête pour l'éternité"
Then only say that you'll be mine
Alors dis seulement que tu seras mienne
And in no others' arms entwine
Et ne te blottis pas dans les bras d'un autre
Down beside where the waters flow
En bas, là où coulent les eaux
Down by the banks of the Ohio
Au bord de la rivière Ohio
I started home twixt twelve and one
Je suis rentré chez moi entre minuit et une heure
I cried, "My God, what have I done?"
J'ai crié, "Mon Dieu, qu'ai-je fait ?"

J'ai tué celle que j'aime ce soir
Because she would not be my bride
Parce qu'elle ne voulait pas être ma mariée
Well only say that you'll be mine
Eh bien, dis seulement que tu seras mienne
And in no others' arms entwine
Et ne te blottis pas dans les bras d'un autre
Down beside where the waters flow
En bas, là où coulent les eaux
Down by the banks of the Ohio
Au bord de la rivière Ohio
