[78-L] Bad news on record

[Charles Bihun]

This is a traditional ballad.  More commonly it is known as Omie Wise:

"Oh, listen to my story, I'll tell you no lies,
How John Lewis did murder poor little Omie Wise, etc."

Apparently she was a young teenager who was killed by her boyfriend, a
fellow named Lewis.  The recording is on the Victor label, sung by Vernon
Dalhart, and is electrically recorded.
