This long time boy I never see you, come let me hold your hand
This long time boy I never see you, come let me hold your hand
Hear that John Crow sit on the treetop, pick all the blossom
Let me hold your hand, boy, let me hold your hand
This long time boy I never hear you, come let we walk and talk
This long time boy I never near you, come let we walk and talk
Hear that John Crow sit on the treetop, pick all the blossom
Let me hold your hand, boy, let me hold your hand
He say that you'll marry me tomorrow, say how our love will be
Say that the sighing and the sorrow is over evermore for me
This long time boy I never hold you, come let we wheel and turn
This long time boy I never hold you, come let we wheel and turn
Hear that John Crow sit on the treetop, pick all the blossom
Let me hold your hand, boy, let me hold your hand
This long time boy I never see you, come let me hold your hand
Hear that John Crow sit on the treetop, pick all the blossom
Let me hold your hand, boy, let me hold your hand
This long time boy I never hear you, come let we walk and talk
This long time boy I never near you, come let we walk and talk
Hear that John Crow sit on the treetop, pick all the blossom
Let me hold your hand, boy, let me hold your hand
He say that you'll marry me tomorrow, say how our love will be
Say that the sighing and the sorrow is over evermore for me
This long time boy I never hold you, come let we wheel and turn
This long time boy I never hold you, come let we wheel and turn
Hear that John Crow sit on the treetop, pick all the blossom
Let me hold your hand, boy, let me hold your hand
