Noah Payne - Little Omie Wise

this is a tune I learned from a guy at my church, other influences being Matthew Govig, Morgan Sexton, Roscoe Holcomb, and Clifton Hicks. the tuning for this piece is my all time favorite banjo tuning, eCGAD. I'll tell you no stories and I'll tell you no lies, this is the story of Little Omie Wise John Lewis said meet me down by Adams's Spring, to bring you some money, and other fine things. She met him one morning down by Adams's Spring, where there'd be no money, no other fine things. No money, no money, no sweetheart do i see. hop up behind me and married we shall be. She hopped up behind him, and away they did go, on down to the river where the water is 20 foot deep. John Lewis, John Lewis, please tell to me your mind. my mind is to kill you and leave you far behind. John Lewis, John Lewis, please spare to me my life, I'll go back home rejected and I'll never be your wife. Omie, little Omie i'm afraid that you must die, for you can't live single, nor can you be my wife. He beat her and strangled her, til she couldn't make a sound, then he threw her in the river, where he knew that she would drown. Two boys went fishing, one one Sunday morning, where they spied little Omie's body float out towards the shore. They cast their net around her, and the drew her towards the bank, her clothes being wet, they laid her on a plank. They sent for John Lewis to see Omie Wise, they had known that he had killed her when he had viewed her eyes. Listen all you people and see what Johnny has done, he's killed his own true love, and never turned to run. My name is John Lewis, my name I'll never deny, I've killed my own true love, her name was Omie Wise. You can kill me, you can hang me, you can shoot me if you can, for if you hang me, you'll hang a guilty man.
