[00:00.00]Ommie Wise - G. B. Grayson
[00:13.77]I'll tell you all a story about ommie wise
[00:19.87]How she was deluded by john lewis's lies
[00:36.35]He told her to meet him at adams's spring
[00:41.81]He'd bring her some money
[00:44.64]And some other fine things
[00:47.59]He brought her no money
[00:50.37]Nor no other fine things
[00:53.06]But get up behind me ommie
[00:55.86]To squire elletts we'll go
[01:09.60]She got up behind him so carefully we'll go
[01:15.29]They rode till they came where deep waters did flow
[01:21.08]John lewis he concluded to tell her his mind
[01:26.55]John lewis he concluded to leave her behind
[01:43.10]She threw her arms around him
[01:46.03]John spare me my life
[01:48.75]And I'll go distracted and never be your wife
[02:04.93]He threw her arms from around him
[02:07.67]And into the water she plunged
[02:10.31]John lewis he turned around
[02:12.71]And rode back to adams's hall
[02:15.72]He went inquiring for ommie but
[02:18.77]Ommie she is not here
[02:21.13]She's gone to some neighbor's house
[02:23.56]And won't be gone very long
[02:36.85]John lewis was took a prisoner
[02:39.38]And locked up in the jail
[02:41.99]Was locked up in the jail around
[02:44.63]Was there to remain a while
[02:47.20]John lewis he stayed there
[02:49.58]For six months or maybe more
[02:52.49]Until he broke jail into the army he did go
