Anyone know if this is related to "The Bonny Banks o Fordie", Child 14? I heard that it was, and in some versions there are uncanny resemblances, but I don't know for sure. Wells 298 01:09, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
It bears an uncanny resemblance to Hanged I Shall Be too.

The article as it stands makes incorrect statements about this ballad's relationship to "Pretty Polly." In "Pretty Polly" Willie leads Polly over hills and through valleys to a place where he has prepared to murder her by digging her grave in advance. He stabs her, buries her, and flees the scene. In "Banks of the Ohio" he says "I threw her in the river there to drown, and watched her as she floated down." In longer versions of "Pretty Polly," he is haunted by Polly's ghost, and in some versions she kills him. None of this is in "Ohio." Yet the article on "Ohio" claims they "tell the same story," and cites no sources for this or anything else. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.147.236.194 ( talk) 14:18, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

A Hungarian version was sung by Tibor. It seems to have been taken off Youtube.
