Annie Laurie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maxwelton braes are bonnie
Where early falls the dew
And it was there that Annie Laurie
Gave me her promise true
Gave me her promise true
Which never forgot will be
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I would lay me down and die.
Her brow is like the snowdrift
Her neck is like the swans
Her face it is the fairest
That ever the sun shone on.
That ever the sun shone on
And dark blue is her eye
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I would lay me down and die.
Like dew on the gowan lying
Is the fall of her fairy feet
And like the 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.
