Annie Laurie (song) - Did you know

Annie Laurie         by                           William Douglas

Maxwellton braes are bonnie

Where early fa’s the dew

And it’s there that Annie Laurie

Guid me her promise true

Guid me her promise true

Which ne’ér forget will be,

And for bonnie Annie Laurie

I’d lay me doun and dee

Her brow is like the snaw-drift,

Her neck is like a swan,

Her face it is the fairest

That e’ ér the sun shone on

That e’ ér the sun shone on,

And dark blue is her e’é

And for bonnie Annie Laure

I’d lay me doun and dee

Like dew on the gowan lying

Is the fa’ o’ 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 a’ the world to me

And for bonnie Annie Laurie

I’d lay me doun and dee
