I'll tell you all a story about Ommie Wise
How she was deluded by John Lewis's lies
He told her to meet him at Adams's spring
He'd bring her some money and some other fine things
He brought her no money nor no other fine things
But "Get up behind me, Ommie, to Squire Elletts we'll go"
She got up behind him, "So caref'llie we'll go"
They rode 'til they came where deep waters did flow
John Lewis, he concluded to tell her his mind
John Lewis, he concluded to leave her behind
She threw her arms around him, "John, spare me my life
And I'll go distracted and never be your wife"
He threw her arms from 'round him, and into the water she plunged
John Lewis, he turned 'round and rode back to Adams's Hall
He went inquiring for Ommie but, "Ommie, she is not here
She's gone to some neighbor's house and won't be gone very long"
John Lewis was took a prisoner and locked up in the jail
Was locked up in the jail around, was there to remain a while
John Lewis, he stayed there for six months or maybe more
Until he broke jail; into the army he did go
Ommie Wise was written by G.B. Grayson.
G.B. Grayson released Ommie Wise on Fri Oct 19 1928.
