Willie Moore was a king his age twenty-one |
| [00:15.78] |
|
| [00:16.59] |
He courted a damsel fair |
| [00:19.46] |
|
| [00:21.95] |
O her eyes was as bright as the diamonds in the night |
| [00:26.88] |
And wavy black was her hair. |
| [00:29.56] |
|
| [00:32.09] |
He courted her both night and day |
| [00:35.83] |
|
| [00:37.39] |
'Til to marry they did agree |
| [00:40.39] |
|
| [00:42.57] |
But when he ask her parents consent |
| [00:46.13] |
|
| [00:48.11] |
They said it could never be. |
| [00:50.79] |
|
| [00:52.91] |
She threw herself in Willie Moore's arms |
| [00:57.17] |
|
| [00:58.55] |
As oftime had done before |
| [01:00.98] |
|
| [01:03.41] |
But little did he think when they parted that night |
| [01:09.97] |
|
| [01:10.48] |
Sweet Anna he would see no more. |
| [01:12.54] |
|
| [01:34.15] |
It was about the tenth of May |
| [01:38.08] |
|
| [01:39.20] |
The time I remember well |
| [01:42.13] |
|
| [01:44.25] |
That very same night her body disappeared |
| [01:48.31] |
|
| [01:50.16] |
In a way no tongue could tell. |
| [01:52.60] |
|
| [01:54.67] |
Sweet Annie was loved both far and near |
| [01:58.12] |
|
| [01:59.92] |
Had friends most all around |
| [02:02.87] |
|
| [02:05.25] |
And in a little brook before the cottage door |
| [02:09.31] |
|
| [02:10.06] |
The body of sweet Anna was found. |
| [02:13.36] |
|
| [02:15.55] |
She was taken by her weeping friends |
| [02:18.86] |
|
| [02:20.59] |
And carried to her room |
| [02:23.21] |
|
| [02:25.61] |
And there she was dressed in a gown of snowy white |
| [02:29.61] |
|
| [02:30.30] |
And laid her in a lonely tomb. |
| [02:32.73] |
|
| [02:35.91] |
Her parents now are left all alone |
| [02:40.35] |
|
| [02:41.16] |
One mourns while the other one weeps |
| [02:44.47] |
|
| [02:46.28] |
And in a grassy mound before the cottage door |
| [02:51.36] |
|
| [02:52.18] |
The body of sweet Anna still sleeps. |
| [02:54.56] |
|
| [02:56.39] |
Willie Moore never spoke that anyone heard |
| [03:00.90] |
And at length from his friends did part |
| [03:03.31] |
|
| [03:04.05] |
And the last heard from him he'd gone to Montreal |
| [03:10.42] |
|
| [03:10.98] |
Where he died of a broken heart. |
| [03:14.54] |
|
| [03:36.92] |
