oh! no john - paul robeson lyrics
oh! no john lyrics
[verse 1: john]
on yonder hill, there stands a creature
who she is, i do not know
i’ll go and court her for her beauty
she must answer yes or no
[woman chorus]
oh, no john, no john, no john, no
[verse 2: woman]
my father was a spanish captain
went to sea a month ago
first he kissed me then he left me
bid me always answer no
[woman chorus]
oh, no john, no john, no john, no
[verse 3: john]
madam, in your face is beauty
on your lips, red roses grow
will you take me for your lover?
madam, answer yes or no
[woman chorus]
oh, no john, no john, no john, no
[verse 4: john]
madam, i will give you jewels
i will make you rich and free
i will buy you silk and dresses
madam, will you marry me?
[woman chorus]
oh, no john, no john, no john, no
[verse 5: john]
madam, since you are so cruel
and that you do scorn me so
if i may not be your lover
madam, will you let me go?
[woman chorus]
oh, no john, no john, no john, no
[verse 6: john]
then i will stay with you forever
if you will not be unkind
madam, i have vowed to love you
would you have me change my mind?
[woman chorus]
oh, no john, no john, no john, no
[verse 7: john]
hark, i hear the church bells ringing
will you come and be my wife?
or, dear madam, have you settled
to live single all your life?
[woman chorus]
oh, no john, no john, no john, no
