"Annie Laurie"

____________________

Maxwelton's hills are bonnie

Where early falls the dew

And 'twas there that Annie Laurie

Gived me her promise true.

Gived me her promise true

Which ne'er forgot shall be

And for bonnie Annie Laurie

I'd lay me down and die.

Her brow is like the snow drift,

Her throat is like the swan,

Her face, it is the fairest

That e'er the sun shone on.

That e'er the sun shone on

And dark blue are her eyes

And for bonnie Annie Laurie

I'd lay me down and die.

Like dew on the daisy lyin'

Is the fall of her fairy feet

And like winds in summer sighing

Her voice is low and sweet.

Her voice is low and sweet

And she's all the world to me

And for bonnie Annie Laurie

I'd lay me down and die.
