[Intro]
One, two, three
[Chorus]
Who's gonna hold you, dear?
Who's gonna kiss ya?
Who's gonna love you, dear?
Who's gonna miss ya?
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Who's gonna hold you, dear?
Who's gonna kiss ya?
Who's gonna love you, dear?
Who's gonna miss ya?
[Verse 3]
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?"
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
Who's gonna hold you, dear?
Who's gonna kiss ya?
Who's gonna love you, dear?
Who's gonna miss ya?
