1
Willie Moore was a king, his age twenty-one
2
And he courted a damsel fair.
3
Oh her eyes were as bright as the diamonds after night
4
And wavy black was her hair.
5
He courted her both night and day
6
Till on marry they did agree.
7
But when he came to get her parents' consent
8
They said that could never be.
9
Oh it was about the tenth of May,
10
The time I remember well,
11
That very same night her body disappeared
12
In a way no tongue could tell.
13
Sweet Annie was loved both far and near
14
Had friends most all around
15
And in a little brook before the cottage door
16
The body of sweet Annie was found.
17
She was taken by her weeping friends
18
And carried to her parents' room.
19
And there she was dressed in a shroud of snowy white
20
And laid in a lonely tomb.
21
Her parents now are left alone,
22
One mourns while the other weeps.
23
Beneath a grassy mound before the cottage door
24
The body of sweet Annie sleeps.
25
Willie Moore scarcely spoke to his friends they say
26
And at last from them all he did part.
27
And the last heard from him he was in Montreal
28
Where he died of a broken heart.
