《Omie Wise》歌词

[00:00:00] Omie Wise - Pentangle

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

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

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

[00:00:24] Poor little Omie Wise

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

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

[00:00:33] He promised her money

[00:00:36] And other fine things

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:18] Where deep waters flow

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:22] Where he knew that

[00:02:23] She would drown

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:58] One fine summer day

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

[00:03:04] Go floating away

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:52] No friends or relations

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