oh listen to my story, i'll tell you no lie
Am G Am
how john lewis did murder poor little omie wise
he told her to meet him at adams' spring
Am G Am
he promised her money and other fine things
so fool like she met him at adams' springs
Am G Am
no money he brought her nor other fine things
"go with me little omie, and away we will go
Am G Am
off to get married, and no one will know"
she climbed up behind him and away they did go
Am G Am
but off to the river where deep waters flow
"john lewis, john lewis, will you tell me your mind?
Am G Am
do you intend to marry me or leave me behind?"
"little omie, little omie, i'll tell you my mind
Am G Am
my mind is to drown you and leave you behind"
"have mercy on my baby and spare me my life
Am G Am
ill go home as a beggar and never be your wife"
he kissed her and hugged her then he turned her around
Am G Am
and pushed her in deep waters where he knew that she would drown
he jumped on his pony and away did he ride
Am G Am
as the screams of little omie went down by his side
'twas on one thursday morning, the rain came pouring down
Am G Am
when the people searched for omie but she could not be found
two boys went a fishin' one fine summer day
Am G Am
and they saw little omie's body go floating away
they they threw their net around her and drew her to the bank
Am G Am
her clothes all wet and muddy, they laid her on a plank
they sent for john lewis to come to that place
Am G Am
and they brought her out before him so that he might see her face
though he made no confession, they carried him to jail
Am G Am
no friends nor relations would go on his bail
