Naomi Wise
On his horse he would ride
Into town every day
Charming and a handsome smile
A white horse a wealthy name

Naomi was an orphan girl
She fetched water for the fields
Back and forth to the river
Easy was her heart to steal

Her heart raced a thousand beats
Every day when he would pass
He got down off his horse
Bowed his head and took her hand
Her heart awakened that one spring
Like the flowers by the river bank
And he promised her the world
She would never be the same

When it was found she was with child
His wealthy name would not be tied
For a day he was to see her
He found another path to town

Naomi cried herself to sleep
He had found another love
No longer passing by
She was forgotten
It was done

Naomi went and tracked him down
And he gently took her hand
And he led her to the water
And held her down until she drowned

Love he gave
She never had
Forbidden love will never last
Floating by the river's edge
Because she loved him now she's dead
