Lyrics

[00:11.26] Annie laid her head down in the roses
[00:19.58] She had ribbons ribbons ribbons in her long brown hair
[00:31.55] I don't know maybe it was the roses
[00:40.54] All I know I could not leave her there
[00:49.60] I don't know it must have been the roses
[00:58.46] The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair
[01:10.06] I don't know maybe it was the roses
[01:19.07] All I know I could not leave her there
[01:28.07] Ten years the waves roll the ships home from the sea
[01:37.02] Thinkin' well how it may blow in all good company
[01:45.74] If I tell another what your own lips told to me
[01:53.87] Let me lay 'neath the roses till my eyes no longer see
[02:03.69] I don't know it must have been the roses
[02:12.47] The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair
[02:23.89] I don't know maybe it was the roses
[02:32.84] All I know I could not leave her there
[02:50.82] One pane of glass in the window
[02:59.54] No one is complaining no come in and shut the door
[03:08.46] Faded is the crimson from the ribbons that she wore
[03:16.52] And it's strange how no one comes round any more
[03:25.95] I don't know it must have been the roses
[03:34.59] The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair
[03:45.68] I don't know maybe it was the roses
[03:54.46] All I know I could not leave her there
[04:39.14] Annie laid her head down in the roses
[04:46.83] She had ribbons ribbons ribbons in her long brown hair
[04:58.26] I don't know maybe it was the roses
[05:07.01] All I know I could not leave her there
