Oh, Amlisten to my story, I'll Gtell you no lies,
How AmJohn Lewis did murder poor Glittle Omie AmWise.
He Amtold her to meet him at GAdams's Springs.
He Ampromised her money and Gother fine Amthings.
So, Amfool-like she met him at GAdams's Springs.
No Ammoney he brought her nor Gother fine Amthings.
"AmGo with me, little Omie, and aGway we will go.
We'll Amgo and get married and Gno one will Amknow."
She Amclimbed up behind him and aGway they did go,
But Amoff to the river where Gdeep waters Amflow.
"AmJohn Lewis, John Lewis, will you Gtell me your mind?
Do Amyou intend to marry me or Gleave me beAmhind?"
"AmLittle Omie, little Omie, I'll Gtell you my mind.
My Ammind is to drown you and Gleave you beAmhind."
"AmHave mercy on my baby and Gspare me my life,
I'll Amgo home as a beggar and Gnever be your Amwife."
He Amkissed her and hugged her and Gturned her around,
Then Ampushed her in deep waters where he Gknew that she would Amdrown.
He Amgot on his pony and aGway he did ride,
AmAs the screams of little Omie went Gdown by his Amside.
AmT'was on a Thursday morning, the Grain was pouring down,
AmWhen the people searched for Omie but she Gcould not be Amfound.
AmTwo boys went a-fishin' one Gfine summer day,
AmAnd saw little Omie's body Ggo floating aAmway.
AmThey threw their net around her and Gdrew her to the bank.
AmHer clothes all wet and muddy, they Glaid her on a Amplank.
AmThen sent for John Lewis to Gcome to that place --
And Ambrought her out before him so that Ghe might see her Amface.
He Ammade no confession but they Gcarried him to jail,
AmNo friends or relations would Ggo on his Ambail.
