《Omie Wise》歌词

[00:00:00] Omie Wise-Bert Jansch

[00:00:06] Oh listen to my story I'll tell you no lies

[00:00:13] How John Lewes did murder poor little Omie Wise

[00:00:22] He told to her meet him at Adam's Spring

[00:00:28] He promised her money and other fine things

[00:00:37] And fool like she met him at Adam's Spring

[00:00:44] No money did he bring her nor other fine things

[00:00:53] Go with me little Omie and away we will go

[00:01:00] We'll go and get married and nobody will know

[00:01:08] Well she climbed up behind him and away they did go

[00:01:15] But down to the river where deep waters flow

[00:01:33] “ John Lewes John Lewes will you tell to me your mind

[00:01:40] Do you intend to marry me or leave me behind ”

[00:01:46] “ Little Omie little Omie I'll tell to you my mind

[00:01:54] My mind is to drown you and leave you behind ”

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

[00:02:09] I'll go home as a beggar and never be your wife”

[00:02:34] He hugged her and kissed her and turned her around

[00:02:41] And pushed her in deep water where he knew that she would drown

[00:02:49] Then he got up on his pony and away he did ride

[00:02:56] As the screams of little Omie went down by his side

[00:03:05] ‘ Twas on a Thursday morning the rain was a-pouring down

[00:03:12] When the people searched for Omie but she could not be found

[00:03:31] Two boys went a-fishing one fine sunny day

[00:03:38] And saw little Omie's body go floating away

[00:03:50] They threw their nets around her and drew her to the bank

[00:03:56] Her clothes all wet and muddy they laid her on a plank

[00:04:05] Then sent for John Lewes to come to that place

[00:04:12] And brought her out before him that he might see her face

[00:04:20] Well he made no confession but they carried him to jail

[00:04:27] No friends nor relations would come for his bail
