Oh gather round people I'll tell you no lies
How John Lewis did murder poor little Omie Wise He told her to meet him at Adams' spring He would bring her money and other fine things So fool like she met him at Adams' spring He brought her no money no other fine things He brought her no money but flattered his case "We will go get married, there will be no disgrace" "John Lewis, John Lewis, please tell me your mind Do you intend to marry me or leave me behind?" "Little Omie, Little Omie, I'll tell you my mind My mind is to murder you and leave you behind" "Have pity on my unborn child, spare me my life! I'll go and I'll admit that I was never your wife" But he kicked her and he choked her and he turned her around, And he threw her in deep water where he knew that she would drown Little Omie was missing they all did well know And hunting for her to the river did go And there found her floating on the water so deep Which caused all the women to sigh and to weep The neighbours they came for to see the great sight While she lay a floating on the water all night So gather round people and I've told you no lies How John Lewis did murder Naomi Wise |

Wrap your blackest coat around your throat
Tonight. There's a brand-new tune around the moon Tonight. And your father's standing by the water Without his daughter. And your mother's standing in the cellar, You didn't tell her. And there is something near that you can hear Tonight. There's a brand-new storm around your form Tonight. And that dress you wore has fallen to the ground. Take the brightest scream out of your dream Tonight. There's a brand-new sweet forbidden treat Tonight. And your mother's standing in the cellar, You didn't tell her. And your father's standing by the water, Without his daughter. Wrap your blackest coat up round your throat Tonight. There's a brand-new tune around the moon Tonight. And there's some brand-new proof that you're aloof Tonight. There's a brand-new song for you to sing. Sing along tonight. |
