Omie Wise - Pentangle[00:00:00]

Oh listen to my story [00:00:14]

I'll tell you no lies [00:00:17]

How John Lewis did murder[00:00:20]

Poor little Omie Wise [00:00:24]

He told her to meet him[00:00:27]

At Adams's Springs [00:00:30]

He promised her money[00:00:33]

And other fine things [00:00:36]

And fool-like she met him[00:00:40]

At Adams's Springs [00:00:43]

But no money he brought[00:00:46]

Her nor other fine things [00:00:49]

"Go with me little Omie [00:00:56]

And away we will go [00:00:59]

We'll go and get married[00:01:02]

And no one will know "[00:01:05]

She jumped up behind him[00:01:08]

And away they did go [00:01:12]

But down to the river[00:01:15]

Where deep waters flow [00:01:18]

"John Lewis John Lewis [00:01:21]

Want you tell to me your mind [00:01:25]

Do you intend to marry[00:01:28]

Me or leave me behind "[00:01:31]

"Little Omie little Omie [00:01:34]

I'll tell to you my mind [00:01:37]

My mind is to drown you[00:01:41]

And leave you behind "[00:01:44]

"Have mercy on my baby[00:02:00]

And spare me my life [00:02:03]

I'll go home as a beggar[00:02:06]

And never be your wife "[00:02:10]

He hugged her and kissed[00:02:13]

Her and turned her around [00:02:16]

Then pushed her in deep waters[00:02:19]

Where he knew that[00:02:22]

She would drown [00:02:23]

Then he got on his pony[00:02:26]

And away he did ride [00:02:29]

As the screams of little Omie[00:02:32]

Went down by his side [00:02:35]

T'was on a Thursday morning [00:02:42]

The rain was pouring down [00:02:45]

When the people searched for[00:02:48]

Omie but she could not be found [00:02:50]

Then two boys went a-fishin[00:02:54]

One fine summer day [00:02:58]

And saw little Omie's body[00:03:01]

Go floating away [00:03:04]

They threw their net around[00:03:07]

Her and drew her to the bank [00:03:10]

Her clothes all wet and muddy [00:03:14]

They laid her on a plank [00:03:17]

And they call for John Lewis[00:03:20]

To come to that place[00:03:23]

And brought her out before him[00:03:26]

So that he can see her face [00:03:30]

He made no confession but[00:03:45]

They carried him to jail [00:03:49]

No friends or relations[00:03:52]

Would go on his bail[00:03:55]
