Omie Wise - Bob Dylan
She promised to meet him
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
And I'll make you my bride
She jumped up behind him
And away they did go
To yonder far country
Where the deep waters flow
Now jump you down Omie
And I'll tell you my mind
My mind is to drown you
And to leave you behind
Oh no oh no
Please don't take my life
Oh I will deny you
And I'll not be your wife
Well he 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
Run up on the river
Down the banks full of clay
And up spoke her mother
With a voice such a sting
No one but John Lewis
Could have done such a thing
They traced him up the river
To Dutch Charlie's Bend
For they found him in jail
For killin' a man
Go hang him go hang him
Was her mother's command
Throw him in deep water
That flows through the land
Go hang him go hang him
Was the judge's command
Throw him in deep water
That flows through the land
