Verse 2

John Lewis, John Lewis, won't you tell me your mind,

do you intend to marry me or leave me behind?

Little Omie, Little Omie, I will tell you my mind,

my plan is to drown you and leave you behind,

Have mercy on my baby and spare me my life,

I'll go home as a beggar and never be your wife

Verse 3
Am 
G 
He hugged her and he kissed her and turned her around and
Am 
E 
threw her in deep water where he knew that she
Am 
Would drown,
G 
It was on one Thursday morning the rain came pouring
Am 
down and they searched for Omie's body but it
E 
Am 
Nowhere could be found,
G 
Am 
Two boys went a fishin' one fine summer day and they saw little
E 
Omie's body go floating away
