Lyrics:
Oh gather round people, I'll tell you no lies,
How John Lewis did murder poor little Omie Wise.
He told her to meet him at Adams' Spring.
He would bring her money and other fine things.

So, fool-like she met him at Adams' Spring.
He brought her no money, no other fine things.
He brought her no money, but flattered his case,
"We will go get married, there will be no disgrace."

"John Lewis, John Lewis, please tell me your mind,
Do you intend to marry me or leave me behind?"
"Little Omie, little Omie, I'll tell you my mind,
My mind is to murder you and leave you behind."

"Have pity on my unborn child, spare me my life,
I'll go and I'll admit that I was never your wife."
But he kicked her and choked her and turned her around:
Held her under deep water where he knew that she would drown.

Little Omie was missing they all did well know,
And hunting for her to the river did go.
And there found her floating on the water so deep,
Which caused all the women to sigh and to weep.

The neighbours they came for to see the great sight,
While she lay a'floating on the water all night.
So gather around people and I told you no lies,
How John Lewis did murder Naomie Wise.

  • I love these guys. All of them are honeys too.

  • the comments on this made me laugh far more than they should've.

    my two cents isn't important; but I absolutely love Okkervil River, and this song.

  • Im In Love with this band.

  • @Snight101

    so's your mother, but that didn't stop me from having "fun" with her last night.

    did you know she loves when you ask her to "squeal like a piggy for daddy"?

  • A fine rendition of this old tune! I first heard the version by the legendary Doc Watson . . . I am very impressed with this version!

  • @Snight101 U talk like that but with a nice little spanking, I fly to Heathrow to feel your wrath! The smack smack of the palm clap is something I like to feel first hand!

  • @161803 fuck off fag
