Oh, it is.

Ab
Well, she met him as she promised
Db
I bet Adam's his spring
Eb
Expecting some money
Ab
Or some other fine thing
No money, no money
Db
To fly to the case
Eb
I'll have to get married
Ab
So there'll be no disgrace
So jump you up on me
Db
And away we will ride
Eb
To yonder fair country
Ab
Where the cool waters glide
She jumped up behind him
Db
And away they did ride
Eb
To yonder fair country
Db
Ab
Where the deep waters glide
Now jump you down, old me
Db
And I'll tell you my mind
Eb
My mom just to drown you,
Ab
and to leave you behind
She begged and she pleaded,
Db
oh don't take my life
Eb
And I will deny you,
Ab
and I'll not be your wife
Mother, she kicked and he cuffed her
Db
to the worst understand
Eb
And he threw her in deep water
Ab
that flows through the land

They found her poor body the following day
Eb
A preacher an d a reverend,
Ab
Lord, they all began to pray
Then up spoke her mother
Db
with a voice so esteemed
Nobody but John Lewis

They traced him up the waters
Db
to Judge Charlie's Bend
Eb
I'm in jail for killin' a man
Ab
Go hang him, go hang him,
Db
was at mother's command
Eb
And throw him in deep waters
Ab
that flows through the land
