AKA
ANNIE LAURIE
(Alicia Scott (m) / William Douglas (l) )
(Traditional Scottish)
Sung by Deanna Durbin
Maxwellton braes are bonnie,
Where early fa's the dew
And its there that Annie Lawrie
Gie'd me her promise true
Gie'd me her promise true,
Which ne'er forgot will be
And for bonnie Annie Lawrie
I'd lay me down and dee
Her brow is like the snaw drift,
Her neck is like the swan
Her face it is the fairest,
That e'er the sun shone on
That e' er the sun shone on,
And dark blue is her e'e
And for bonnie Annie Lawrie
I'd lay me down and dee
Like dew on the gowan lying,
Is the fa' O' her fairy feet
And like winds in summer sang,
Her voice is low and sweet
Her voice is low and sweet,
She's a' the world to me
And for bonnie Annie Lawrie
I'd lay me down and dee
