SIGN IT!! http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=106&topic_id=20543&mesg_id=20543Oh listen to my story I’ll tell you no lies How John Lewis did murder Poor Little Omie Wise He told her to meet him At Adam’s Springs He promised her money And other fine things Go with me Little Omie And away we will ride We’ll go and get married And no one will know She climbed up behind him And away they did ride But off to the river Where the deep waters flow
John Lewis, John Lewis Will you tell me your mind Do you intend to marry me Or leave me behind Little Omie, Little Omie I’ll tell you my mind My mind is to drown you And leave you behind Have mercy on my baby And spare me my life I’ll go home as a beggar And never be your wife He kiss her and hug her And turned her around Then pushed her in deep water Where he knew that she would drown He got up on his pony And away he did ride As the screams of Little Omie Went down by his side T’was on a Thursday morning The rain was pouring down When the people searched for Omie But she could not be found Two boys went to fish’n One fine summer’s day And saw Little Omie’s body Go floating away They threw their net around her And drew her to the bank Her clothes all wet and muddy They lay her on a plank Then sent for John Lewis To come to that place And brought her out before him So that he might see her face He make no confession But they carried him to jail No friends nor relations Would go on his bailtraditional, words & music: doc watson ~
