Little Omie Wise - Doc Watson[00:00:00]

Written by：Traditional[00:00:07]

Oh listen to my story I'll tell you no lies[00:00:14]

How John Lewis did murder poor little Omie wise[00:00:20]

He told her to meet him at Adams's springs[00:00:28]

He promised her money and other fine things[00:00:35]

So fool like she met him at Adams's springs[00:00:42]

No money he brought her nor other fine things[00:00:49]

Go with me little Omie and away we will go[00:00:59]

We'll go and get married and no one will know[00:01:05]

She climbed up behind him and away they did go[00:01:13]

But off to the river where deep waters flow[00:01:19]

John Lewis John Lewis will you tell me your mind[00:01:29]

Do you intend to marry me or leave me behind[00:01:36]

Little Omie little Omie I'll tell you my mind[00:01:44]

My mind is to drown you and leave you behind[00:01:50]

Have mercy on my baby and spare me my life[00:02:12]

I'll go home as a beggar and never be your wife[00:02:19]

He kissed her and hugged her and turned her around[00:02:27]

Then pushed her in deep waters where he knew that she would drown[00:02:33]

He got on his pony and away he did ride[00:02:41]

As the screams of little Omie went down by his side[00:02:48]

T'was on a Thursday morning the rain was pouring down[00:02:56]

When the people searched for Omie but she could not be found[00:03:03]

Two boys went a fishin' one fine summer day[00:03:11]

And saw little Omie's body go floating away[00:03:18]

They threw their net around her and drew her to the bank[00:03:32]

Her clothes all wet and muddy they laid her on a plank[00:03:39]

Then sent for John Lewis to come to that place[00:03:47]

And brought her out before him so that he might see her face[00:03:53]

He made no confession but they carried him to jail[00:04:02]

No friends or relations would go on his bail[00:04:08]
