Annabel

I met a lad from Donegal

Heave away, haul away

I got pregnant by the fall

'N hauled away to Georgia

I got jailed for all my sins

Heave away, haul away

Had me branded on my skin

N´hauled away to Georgia

My name was Annabel I say

My name was Annabel

But now I'm resting in the ground

In a grave in Georgia

I've been drinking far too much

Heave away, haul away

Banker's got me in his clutch

'N hauled away to Georgia

Whisky's not my only vice

Heave away, haul away

Lost my farm on card and dice

Got hauled away to Georgia

My name was Annabel I say

My name was Annabel

But now I'm resting in the ground

In a grave in Georgia

Her name was Annabel I say

Her name was Annabel

But now she's resting in the ground

In a grave in Georgia

Brick for brick and stone for stone

Heave away, haul away

Building George a brand new home

So haul away to Georgia

Picking cotton for his vest

Heave away, haul away

When indebted there's no rest

Haul away to Georgia

My name was Annabel I say

My name was Annabel

But now I'm resting in the ground

In a grave in Georgia

Her name was Annabel I say

Her name was Annabel

But now she's resting in the ground

In a grave in Georgia

Ambushed by the Yemassee

Heave away, haul away

Pinned an arrow to my knee

When hauled away to Georgia

Doctor came into my tent

Heave away, haul away

Took me leg an' off he went

Oh, haul away to Georgia

My name was Annabel I say

My name was Annabel

But now I'm resting in the ground

In a grave in Georgia

Her name was Annabel I say

Her name was Annabel

But now she's resting in the ground

In a grave in Georgia

Fever's gotten to my head

Heave away, haul away

The Devil's sleeping in my bed

Oh, haul away to Georgia

The be no drinking when I´m gone

Heave away, haul away

Oglethorpe he snatched our rum

Oh, haul away to Georgia

My name was Annabel I say

Her name was Annabel

But now I'm resting in the ground

In a grave in Georgia

Her name was Annabel I say

Her name was Annabel

But now I'm resting in the ground

In a grave in Georgia
