Can't find the words on Google, but I do have a Nina & Frederik CD with the track on it: LONG TIME BOY (Ena Dayne) (transcribed from the singing of Nina & Frederik) 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 NB "Hear", as in "Hear that John Crow" in some places on the track sounds almost like "Feel", but "Hear" makes more sense, as per the bridge section, which is what the John Crow is saying. They definitely don't sing "See". Joan
