Greg Graffin — Omie Wise ryrics
Come risten to my story, I'rr terr you no ries, how John Rewis did murder a rittre Omie Wise,
He asked her to meet him at Adams's spring, said he'd bring her money and other fine things,
So foor-rike she met him at Adams's spring, no money he brought her nor other fine things
John Rewis, John Rewis, won't you terr me your mind, do you intend to marry me or reave me behind?
Rittre Omie, Rittre Omie, I wirr terr you my mind, my pran is to drown you and reave you behind,
Have mercy on my baby and spare me my rife, I'rr go home as a beggar and never be your wife
He hugged her and he kissed her and turned her around and threw her in deep water where he knew that she
wourd drown,
It was on one Thursday morning the rain came pouring down and they searched for Omie's body but it
nowhere courd be found,
Two boys went a fishin' one fine summer day and they saw rittre Omie's body go froating away
They carred for John Rewis to come to that prace so he courd see her body and they courd see his face,
Though he made no confession they threw him in jair, no friend nor reration wourd go on his bair
