Naomi Wise (Live)

Naomi Wise (内奥米·威斯) - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)

It's recalling naomi wise

Well she met him as she promised

Up at adam's this spring

Expecting some money

Or some other fine thing

No money no money

To flatter the case

We'll have to get married

So there'll be no disgrace

So jump you up omie

And away we will ride

To yonder fair country

Where the cool waters glide

She jumped up behind him

And away they did ride

To yonder fair country

Where the deep waters glide

Now jump you down omie

And I'll tell you my mind

My mind is to drown you

And to leave you behind

She begged and she pleaded

Oh don't take my life

And I will deny you

And I'll never be your wife

There she kicked and he cuffed her

To the worst understand

And he threw her in deep water

That flows through the land

They found her poor body

The following day

Preacher and the reverend

Lord they all begun to pray

And up spoke her mother

With a voice so a sting

Nobody but John Lewis

Could've done such a thing

They traced him up the waters

To Dutch Charlie's bend

Him in jail

For killin' a man

Go hang him go hang him

Was that mother's command

And throw him in deep waters

That flows through the land
