One, two, three


Who's gonna hold you, dear?
Who's gonna kiss ya?
Who's gonna love you, dear?
Who's gonna miss ya?

So long, my Annie, I'm gone
For a year and a day
To be rollin' around and wandering down
Seems a long time away

My Annie had a piece of silk
Hangin' on a silvery pin
Then she pulled it to her watery eyes
Yeah, she walked out and in

Who's gonna hold you, dear?
Who's gonna kiss ya?
Who's gonna love you, dear?
Who's gonna miss ya?

My Annie, with her little right hand
Hangin' on a feathery pen
She wrote to me a letter so sweet
"When you comin' home again? "


Bear the news, oh, Annie, my love
I'm on my way to glory
If I get there before you do
I'm sendin' back for thee
My true love, my Annie


Who's gonna hold you, dear?
Who's gonna kiss ya?
Who's gonna love you, dear?
Who's gonna miss ya?
