1
Come listen to my story, I'll tell you no lies
2
How John Lewis did murder little Omie Wise
3
He asked her to meet him at Adams' Spring
4
Said he'd bring her money and other fine things
5
So fool-like she met him at Adams' Spring
6
No money he brought her, nor other fine things
7
John Lewis, John Lewis won't you tell me your mind
8
Do you intend to marry me or leave me behind?
9
Little Omie, Little Omie, I'll tell you my mind
10
My plan is to drown you and leave you behind
11
Have mercy on my baby and spare me my life
12
I'll go home as a beggar and 'er be your wife
13
He hugged her and kissed her and turned her around
14
And threw her in deep water where she knew she would drown
15
It was on one Thursday morning the rain came pouring down
16
They searched for Omie's but it nowhere could be found
17
Two boys went a'fishin' one fine summer day
18
And they saw little Omie's body go floating away
19
They called for John Lewis to come to that place
20
So he could see the body and they could see his face
21
Though he made no confession they threw him in jail
22
No friend nor relation would go on his bail
