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

[A#m] John [A#]Lewis, John [A#m]Lewis, won't you [G#]tell me your mind, do [A#m]you intend to
marry me or [F]leave me be[A#m]hind?
Little Omie, Little Omie, I will [G#]tell you my mind, my [A#m]plan is to drown you
and [Fm]leave you [A#m]behind,
Have mercy on my baby and [G#]spare me my life, I'll [A#m]go home as a beggar and
[Fm]never be your [A#m]wife

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

[A#m] They called for John Lewis to [G#]come to that place so [A#m]he could see her
body and [Fm]they could see his [A#m]face,
Though he made no confession they [G#]threw him in jail, no [A#m]friend nor relation
would [F]go on his [A#m]bail
