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

[00:00:02] Written by：Traditional

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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