(Blue Is The Colour) |
| [00:06.40] |
|
| [00:06.70] |
Alone in the world was poor little Anne |
| [00:12.64] |
As sweet a young child as you'd find |
| [00:19.20] |
Her parents had gone to their final reward |
| [00:25.52] |
Leaving their baby behind |
| [00:30.70] |
|
| [00:31.27] |
Did you hear this poor little child |
| [00:34.52] |
Was only nine years of age |
| [00:38.08] |
When mother and dad went away |
| [00:43.64] |
Still she bravely worked |
| [00:47.39] |
At the one thing she knew |
| [00:50.83] |
To earn a few pennies a day |
| [00:55.89] |
|
| [00:56.64] |
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers |
| [01:04.64] |
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear |
| [01:09.77] |
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers |
| [01:17.02] |
Fashioned from Annie's despair |
| [01:21.64] |
|
| [01:22.95] |
With papers and shears, with wire and wax |
| [01:29.21] |
She made up each tulip and mum |
| [01:35.89] |
As snow flakes drifted in to her tenement room |
| [01:42.14] |
Her baby little fingers grew numb |
| [01:47.14] |
|
| [01:48.58] |
>From artificial flowers, those artificial flowers |
| [01:55.71] |
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear |
| [02:00.83] |
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers |
| [02:08.08] |
Made from Annie's despair |
| [02:12.83] |
|
| [02:14.14] |
And they found little Annie all covered in ice |
| [02:20.52] |
Still clutching her poor frozen shears |
| [02:26.90] |
Amidst all the blossoms, she had fashioned by hand |
| [02:33.27] |
And watered with all her young tears |
| [02:38.27] |
|
| [02:39.89] |
There must be a Heaven where little Annie can play |
| [02:46.08] |
In heavenly gardens and bowers |
| [02:52.46] |
And instead of halo, she'll wear round her head |
| [02:58.96] |
A garland of genuine flowers |
| [03:04.58] |
|
| [03:05.08] |
No more artificial flowers, artificial flowers |
| [03:11.83] |
Flowers for ladies of society to wear |
| [03:17.96] |
Those artificial flowers, artificial flowers |
| [03:24.71] |
Fashioned from Annie's |
| [03:31.08] |
Fashioned from Annie's despair |
| [03:37.52] |
|
