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