If you can answer my questions nine
Sing ninety-nine and ninety
O you're not God's, you're one of mine
And the crow flies over the white oak tree

O what is higher than the tree?
Sing ninety-nine and ninety
And what is deeper than the sea?
And the crow flies over the white oak tree

[Verse 3: Jean Ritchie]
O heaven is higher than a tree
Sing ninety-nine and ninety
And love is deeper than the sea
And the crow flies over the whitе oak tree

[Verse 4: Paul Clayton]
O what is whiter than the milk?
Sing ninety-ninе and ninety
And what is softer than the silk?
And the crow flies over the white oak tree

[Verse 5: Jean Ritchie]
O snow is whiter than the milk
Sing ninety-nine and ninety
And down is softer than the silk
And the crow flies over the white oak tree
