I'll tell you all a story about Ommie Wise |
| [00:19.55] |
How she was deluded by John Lewis's lies |
| [00:36.36] |
He told her to meet him at Adams's spring |
| [00:41.67] |
He'd bring her some money and some other fine things |
| [00:47.48] |
He brought her no money nor no other fine things |
| [00:53.11] |
But "Get up behind me, Ommie, to Squire Elletts we'll go" |
| [01:09.60] |
She got up behind him, "So caref'llie we'll go" |
| [01:14.92] |
They rode 'til they came where deep waters did flow |
| [01:20.76] |
John Lewis, he concluded to tell her his mind |
| [01:26.25] |
John Lewis, he concluded to leave her behind |
| [01:43.03] |
She threw her arms around him, "John, spare me my life |
| [01:48.80] |
And I'll go distracted and never be your wife" |
| [02:04.86] |
He threw her arms from 'round him, and into the water she plunged. |
| [02:10.21] |
John Lewis, he turned 'round and rode back to Adams's Hall |
| [02:15.74] |
He went inquiring for Ommie but, "Ommie, she is not here |
| [02:21.01] |
She's gone to some neighbor's house and won't be gone very long" |
| [02:36.52] |
John Lewis was took a prisoner and locked up in the jail |
| [02:41.93] |
Was locked up in the jail around, was there to remain a while |
| [02:47.14] |
John Lewis, he stayed there for six months or maybe more |
| [02:52.48] |
Until he broke jail; into the army he did go |
| [02:56.95] |
