Lyrics Oh No John (Original Mix) - Charlie Shavers

On yonder hill, there stands a maiden
Who she is he did not know
He went to court her for her beauty
She must answer yes or no

Her father was a Spanish Captain
Went to sea a year ago
First, he kissed her, then he left her
Bid her always answer no

Oh, no John, no John, no John, no
Oh, no John, no John, no John, no

Oh, madam, in your face is beauty
And on your lips red roses grow
Oh, will you take me for your lover?
Madam, answer yes or no

Oh, I will give you silk and dresses
And I will make you rich and free
And I will give you all my jewels
Madam, won't you marry me?

Oh, madam, since you're so cruel, and that you do scorn me so
If I may not be your lover, madam, will you let me go?

Oh, no John, no John, no John, no
Oh, no John, no John, no John, no

Then I will stay with you forever
If you will not be unkind
Madam, I have vowed to love you
Well, you have me change my mind

Oh, no John, no John, no John, no
Oh, no John, no John, no John, no
