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, boy
Let me hold your hand
