Omie Wise Pentangle

[Verse 1]
Oh, listen to my story, I'll tell you no lies
How John Lewis did murder poor Little Omie Wise

[Verse 2]
He told her to meet him at Adams' Springs
He promised her money and other fine things

[Verse 3]
And fool-like she met him at Adams' Springs
But no money he brought her nor other fine things

[Verse 4]
"Go with me, Little Omie, and away we will go
We'll go and get married and no one will know"

[Verse 5]
She jumped up behind him and away they did go
But down to the river where deep waters flow

[Verse 6]
"John Lewis, John Lewis, won't you tell to me your mind?
Do you intend to marry me or leave me behind?"

[Verse 7]
"Little Omie, Little Omie, I'll tell to you my mind
My mind is to drown you and leave you behind"
