Verse 1
G
This next song is a folk song
C
that dates back to the Appalachian
G
C
Mountains.
This song is a murder ballad
which concerns a girl who
G
found herself in a situation
C
G
from which she could not extract
C
herself easily
G
except by marrying her boyfriend
C
G
who was also involved in the situation.
C
Each day, in every way,
her situation becomes more and
G
C
more and more evident.
Finally, her mother comes up to her
and approaches her as only
Little Romy, she says,
C
for that was the girl's name.
G
Please, why don't you do
G
Look, if you don't want to do anything about it,
your father and I will do something
C
about it.
And she said, Mother, please,
G
I'd rather do it myself.

G
So then, so then, so then, after that,
she went up to her boyfriend,
whose name was
G
She said, Little George Lewis,
come, let us be married.
Too long we have
tarried, obviously.
And he said, okay, okay then,
meet me down by the river.
So she met him down by the
river
and it was very beautiful
and sylvan down by the river.
big overstuffed leather chairs
with little cat tails growing
up in between them
C
and great big footstools and stuff
sitting around
on the great big footstools
and the big leather chairs
and they were doing little nice things.
were playing pinochle and bridge
and everybody was just kind
of sitting around.
and then also the people
had brought little lunches
like little thermos bottles
full of garbanzo beans
and hot chocolate and stuff to
sup upon
while they were there in the place
and little sandwiches made out of bacon,
lettuce, tomato and raisins
C
G
with the crusts cut off
and huge jars full of mayonnaise
and tootsie rolls on and on they went, ate
and drank and were merry
a fat pink cloud hung overhead
and everyone was
extremely happy
and pleasant feeling
and he beat her to death
and threw her in the river
which was kind of his way of dealing with
it
since he hadn't been to
college
or learned a craft or anything to do
so now ladies and gentlemen we
have this song
the name of it is the a
ballad of Little Oma Wise
C
It starts slow and ends fast,
the way she did

Verse 2

F
C
Well, you promised to meet me
G
And some money to bring me
C
Or some other fine thing
Well, no money, no money
F
Not to flatter the case
G
Oh, we'll have to be married
C
So there'll be no disgrace
He said, jump up behind me
F
G
And away we will ride
C
Well, I'll make you my bride
And Sush jumped up behind him
F
Oh, and away they did go
G
To the Dulce River County
C
Where the Dulce River flows
He said, get you down, Romy
F
While I tell you my mind,
G
now my mind is to drown you
C
and to leave you behind
Oh, and he kicked her
and he cuffed her
F
to the worst understand
G
Threw her in the deep wa ter
C
that flows through the land
Now Romy was missing,
G
Well, the people and the searchers,
C
they all gathered around
And then I spoke to my mother,
F
and her voice was a sting
G
Well, only George Lewis
C
could have done such a thing
Well, a debt to the devil
G
For killin' little Romy and runnin' away
