I asked my love to take a walk 我问我的爱散步

To take a walk, just a little walk 要散步，只是有点走

Down beside where the waters flow 倒在那里河水流旁

Down by the banks of the Ohio 走在俄亥俄州的银行

   

And only say that you'll be mine 而只能说你会是我的

In no others' arms entwine 在没有别人的怀抱纠缠

Down beside where the waters flow 倒在那里河水流旁

Down by the banks of the Ohio 走在俄亥俄州的银行

   

I held a knife against his breast 我拿着刀子对他的乳房

As into my arms he pressed 由于扑进我的怀里，他按下

He cried "my love, don't you murder me 他哭了“我的爱，你不杀了我

I'm not prepared for eternity" 我不是永恒准备“

   

I wandered home 'tween twelve and one 我漫步回家“吐温12和1

I cried, "My God, what have I done?" 我哭了， “我的上帝，我做了什么？ ”

I've killed the only man I love 我杀了唯一的男人，我爱

He would not take me for his bride 他会不会把我当他的新娘

   

And only say that you'll be mine 而只能说你会是我的

In no others' arms entwine 在没有别人的怀抱纠缠

Down beside where the waters flow 倒在那里河水流旁

Down by the banks of the Ohio 走在俄亥俄州的银行
