Em D
Oh, listen to my story, I'll tell you no lies,
Em D Em
How John Lewis did murder poor little Omie Wise.
Em D
He told her to meet him at Adams's Springs.
Em D Em
He promised her money and other fine things.
Em D
So, fool-like she met him at Adams's Springs.
Em D Em
No money he brought her nor other fine things.
Em D
"Go with me, little Omie, and away we will go.
Em D Em
We'll go and get married and no one will know."
Em D
She climbed up behind him and away they did go,
Em D Em
But off to the river where deep waters flow.
Em D
"John Lewis, John Lewis, will you tell me your mind?
Em D Em
Do you intend to marry me or leave me behind?"
Em D
"Little Omie, little Omie, I'll tell you my mind.
Em D Em
My mind is to drown you and leave you behind."
Em D
"Have mercy on my baby and spare me my life,
Em D Em
I'll go home as a beggar and never be your wife."
Em D
He kissed her and hugged her and turned her around,
Em D Em
Then pushed her in deep waters where he knew that she would drown.
Em D
He got on his pony and away he did ride,
Em D Em
As the screams of little Omie went down by his side.
Em D
T'was on a Thursday morning, the rain was pouring down,
Em D Em
When the people searched for Omie but she could not be found.
Em D
Two boys went a-fishin' one fine summer day,
Em D Em
And saw little Omie's body go floating away.
Em D
They threw their net around her and drew her to the bank.
Em D Em
Her clothes all wet and muddy, they laid her on a plank.
Em D
Then sent for John Lewis to come to that place --
Em D Em
And brought her out before him so that he might see her face.
Em D
He made no confession but they carried him to jail,
Em D Em
No friends or relations would go on his bail.
