Joan from Wigan Lyr Req: Long Time Boy (31) Lyr Add: LONG TIME BOY (from Nina & Frederik) 02 Jan 04


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".
