My love asked me, to take a walk

 -4   5  -5   -4 6 -5   5
Just to walk, a little way

 5  5  6   -6     -5-4   5  -5
And as we walked along we talked

-5  4     -4  5   -5  5  -4   4
Of when would be our wedding day

4    4      5  5   5   -4  4      -4
We walked beneath the whispering pines

-4   -4    5   -5     -4    6  -5 5
His heart was filled with love divine

5   5  6   -6     5  -4 5   -5
And as we neared the river side

-5   4   -4  5   -5  5  -4   4
He asked me when I'd be his bride




4   4   5    5      5  -4 4  -4
Oh no your bride, I'll never be

-4-4 5   -5   -4  6    -5   5
Another one's prepared for me

 5  5  6   -6  5  -4   5  -5
And as I drew my hand from his

-5   4    -4     5    -5   5   -4 4
His heart was filled with fire divine

4   4   5    5      5 -4  4  -4
He drew his knife across my breast

-4  -4  5   -5  -4  6  -5   5
And in his arms I  gently pressed

5  6    -6     5    -4 5  -5
Willie dear, don't murder me

-5  4 -4  5   -5 5    -4  4
For I am not prepared to die




4   4   5   5 5  -4 4    -4
He took me by my golden curls

-4  -4  5   -5  -4  -4  6 -5  5
He drug me down to the river side

 5  5  6   -6   5  -4 5  -5
And as he threw me into drown

-5   4     -4  5  -5  5  -4   4
He watched me as  I  floated down

4   4   5    5      5  -4      4  -4
He started home 'tween twelve and one

-4  5    -5  -4   6   -5   5
Thinking on the deed he'd done

5  6      -6   -5  -4 5   -5
Murdered just the one he loved

-5  4   -4   5    -5   5 -4   4
Because  I  would not be his bride
