She promised to marry and use me quite well; But conduct contrary I sadly must tell, He promised to meet me at Adams's spring; He promised me marriage and many fine things. Still nothing he gave, but yet flattered the case. He says, "We'll be married and have no disgrace, Come get up behind me, we'll go up to town. And there we'll be married, in union be bound." I got up behind him, and straightway did go To the bank of Deep River where the water did flow; He says, "Now Naomi I'll tell you my mind, I intend here to drown you and leave you behind." "O pity your infant and spare me my life; Let me go rejected and be not your wife;" "No pity, no pity," this monster did cry; In Deep river's bottom your body shall lie." The wretch then did choke her, as we understand, And threw her in the river below the milldam; Be it murder or treason, O! what a great crime, To drown poor little Omie and leave her behind. 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 people to sigh and to weep. The neighbors were sent for to see the great sight, While she lay floating all that long night; So early next morning the inquest was held; The jury correctly the murder did tell. Note: In 1808, in Randolph County NC, Johnathan Lewis murdered Naomi Wise, who he had gotten with child and promised to marry. Lewis escaped before conviction. @murder filename[ OMIEWISE play.exe OMIEWISE RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Once More Alumbering Go, Once There Were Greenfields, One Bottle Of Pop, One Hour Mama, One Man Shall Mow My Meadow, One More Day, One Ship Drives East, Ones That Got Away, Only A Miner, Only Remembered, Onward Christian Soldiers, Open The Door Softly, Oranges And Lemons, Oregon Country, Oreilly And The Big Mcneill, Other Day I Met A Bear, Otto Wood The Bandit, Ould Triangle, Our Bill, Our Captain Calls, Our Chalet, Our House, Our Wedding Day, Outlandish Knight, Ovaltine, Over And Over Again, Over The Sea To Skye Variant, Over The Water To Charlie, Over There, Over Yonder Where The Lilies Grow, Oxford Tragedy Or The Millers Apprentice, Oyster Girl, Pace Egging Song, Pack Up Your Sorrows, Packrat Philosophy, Paddle Down The Rahway, Paddy And The Whale, Paddy Doyle, Paddy Lay Back, Paddy Mcglntys Goat, Paddy West, Paddy Works On The Railway, Pakistan Anthem Text, Pakistan Native Anthem Text, Palace Of The Czar, Palms Of Victory, Panama Native Anthem Text, Paper Of Pins, Papua New Guinea Anthem Text, Paradimethylaminobenzaldehyde, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
