Omie Wise-Bert Jansch[00:00:00]
Oh listen to my story I'll tell you no lies[00:00:06]
How John Lewes did murder poor little Omie Wise [00:00:13]
He told to her meet him at Adam's Spring[00:00:22]
He promised her money and other fine things[00:00:28]
And fool like she met him at Adam's Spring[00:00:37]
No money did he bring her nor other fine things[00:00:44]
Go with me little Omie and away we will go[00:00:53]
We'll go and get married and nobody will know[00:01:00]
Well she climbed up behind him and away they did go[00:01:08]
But down to the river where deep waters flow [00:01:15]
“ John Lewes John Lewes will you tell to me your mind[00:01:33]
Do you intend to marry me or leave me behind ”[00:01:40]
“ Little Omie little Omie I'll tell to you my mind[00:01:46]
My mind is to drown you and leave you behind ”[00:01:54]
“ Have mercy on my baby and spare me my life[00:02:00]
I'll go home as a beggar and never be your wife”[00:02:09]
He hugged her and kissed her and turned her around[00:02:34]
And pushed her in deep water where he knew that she would drown [00:02:41]
Then he got up on his pony and away he did ride[00:02:49]
As the screams of little Omie went down by his side[00:02:56]
‘ Twas on a Thursday morning the rain was a-pouring down[00:03:05]
When the people searched for Omie but she could not be found [00:03:12]
Two boys went a-fishing one fine sunny day[00:03:31]
And saw little Omie's body go floating away [00:03:38]
They threw their nets around her and drew her to the bank[00:03:50]
Her clothes all wet and muddy they laid her on a plank [00:03:56]
Then sent for John Lewes to come to that place[00:04:05]
And brought her out before him that he might see her face [00:04:12]
Well he made no confession but they carried him to jail[00:04:20]
No friends nor relations would come for his bail[00:04:27]
