Naomi Wise |
Well she met him as she promised |
Up at Adam’s this spring |
Expecting some money |
Or some other fine thing |
No money, no money |
To flatter the case |
«We'll have to get married |
So there’ll be no disgrace.» |
«So jump you up Omie |
And away we will ride |
To yonder fair country |
Where the cool waters glide.» |
She jumped up behind him |
And away they did ride |
To yonder fair country |
Where the deep waters glide |
«Now jump you down Omie |
And i’ll tell you my mind |
My mind is to drown you |
And to leave you behind.» |
She begged and she pleaded |
«Oh, don’t take my life |
And i will deny you |
And i’ll never be your wife.» |
There she kicked and he cuffed her |
To the worst understand |
And he threw her in deep water |
That flows through the land |
They found her poor body |
The following day |
The preacher and the reverend |
Lord, they all begun to pray |
And up spoke her mother |
With a voice so a-sting |
«Nobody but John Lewis |
Could’ve done such a thing.» |
They traced him up the waters |
To Dutch Charlie’s Bend |
Where they found him in jail |
For killin' a man |
«Go hang him, go hang him.» |
Was that mother’s command |
«And throw him in deep waters |
That flows through the land.» |
