Intro: A#m
G# A#m
Come listen to my story, I'll tell you no lies, how John Lewis did murder a
Fm A#m
little Omie Wise,
G# A#m
He asked her to meet him at Adams's spring, said he'd bring her money and
F A#m
other fine things,
G# A#m A# F
So fool-like she met him at Adams's spring, no money he brought her nor other
A#m
fine things

A#m A# A#m G# A#m
John Lewis, John Lewis, won't you tell me your mind, do you intend to
F A#m
marry me or leave me behind?
G# A#m
Little Omie, Little Omie, I will tell you my mind, my plan is to drown you
Fm A#m
and leave you behind,

Have mercy on my baby and spare me my life, I'll go home as a beggar and
Fm A#m
never be your wife

A#m G# A#m
He hugged her and he kissed her and turned her around and threw her
Fm A#m
in deep water where he knew that she would drown,
G# A#m
It was on one Thursday morning the rain came pouring down and they searched
F A#m
for Omie's body but it nowhere could be found,
G# A#m
Two boys went a fishin' one fine summer day and they saw little Omie's body
Fm A#m
go floating away

A#m G# A#m
They called for John Lewis to come to that place so he could see her
Fm A#m
body and they could see his face,

Though he made no confession they threw him in jail, no friend nor relation
F A#m
would go on his bail
