I gave to you a hen

You gave it back again

Without it's eggs,

My Annie

I gave to you a hare,

You really didn't care

Now it has no legs

My Annie

Oh Annie Let me in

I will fly, I will swim

I will die if you don't

Come near me

Oh no, don't you say so,

You are my dear, my Annie.

Oh Annie Let me in

I will fly, I will swim

I will die if you don't

Come near me

Oh no, don't you say so,

You are my dear, my Annie.

I gave to you a dog,

You threw for it a log,

Now it won't come back,

My Annie.

I gave to you a pig,

It wasn't very big,

Now the meats all black,

My Annie.

Oh Annie Let me in

I will fly, I will swim

I will die if you don't

Come near me

Oh no, don't you say so,

You are my dear, my Annie.

I gave to you a cow,

You really don't know how,

It flew away,

My Annie.

I gave to you a horse,

I'm a silly fool of course,

For you rode away,

My...

Annie Let me in

I will fly, I will swim

I will die if you don't,

So Annie Let me in

I will fly, I will swim

I will die if you don't

Come near me

Oh no, don't you say so,

You are my dear, my...

Annie Let me in

I will fly, I will swim

I will die if you don't

Come near me

Oh no, don't you say so,

You are my dear, my Annie.

I gave to you my heart,

You tore it all apart,

When you rode away,

My Annie.
