《Naomi Wise》歌词

[00:00:00] Naomi Wise - Bob Dylan

[00:00:16] well she met him as she promised

[00:00:21] up at Adam's this spring

[00:00:24] expecting some money

[00:00:28] or some other fine thing

[00:00:32] no money, no money

[00:00:36] to flatter the case

[00:00:40] "We'll have to get married

[00:00:43] so there'll be no disgrace."

[00:00:47] "So jump you up Omie

[00:00:50] and away we will ride

[00:00:54] to yonder fair country

[00:00:58] where the cool waters glide."

[00:01:02] she jumped up behind him

[00:01:05] and away they did ride

[00:01:09] to yonder fair country

[00:01:12] where the deep waters glide

[00:01:16] "Now jump you down Omie

[00:01:20] and i'll tell you my mind

[00:01:24] my mind is to drown you

[00:01:27] and to leave you behind."

[00:01:31] she begged and she pleaded

[00:01:35] "Oh, don't take my life

[00:01:39] and i will deny you

[00:01:42] and i'll never be your wife."

[00:01:46] there she kicked and he cuffed her

[00:01:50] to the worst understand

[00:01:54] and he threw her in deep water

[00:01:58] that flows through the land

[00:02:02] they found her poor body

[00:02:05] the following day

[00:02:09] the preacher and the reverend

[00:02:12] Lord, they all begun to pray

[00:02:16] and up spoke her mother

[00:02:20] with a voice so a-sting

[00:02:24] "Nobody but John Lewis

[00:02:27] could've done such a thing."

[00:02:31] they traced him up the waters

[00:02:35] to Dutch Charlie's Bend

[00:02:38] in jail

[00:02:41] for killin' a man

[00:02:45] "Go hang him, go hang him."

[00:02:48] was that mother's command

[00:02:52] "And throw him in deep waters

[00:02:56] that flows through the land."
