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 her breast 我拿着刀子在她的乳房

As into my arms she pressed 由于扑进我的怀里，她按下

She cried "my love, don't you murder me 她哭了“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 girl I need 我杀了我需要的唯一的女孩

Because she would not marry me 因为她不会嫁给我

   

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

   

The next day, right half past four 第二天，右四点三十

The sheriff walked right to my door 警长径直来到我的门前

And he says young man, don’t you try to run 他说，小伙子，你不尝试运行

You gotta pay for this awful crime you’ve done 你必须为此付出可怕的罪，你已经做了

   

Only say that you'll be mine 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
