1
Listen now children a story I'll tell
2
Of a woman they called Anna Lee
3
She had a fine son and she raised him up well
4
And a daughter as lovely as she
5
I'll return to you, dear, in the dimming of day
6
As the sparrow returns to her nest
7
I'll return to you dreaming with each lullaby
8
Hold your sweet weary head to my breast
9
She sang to her darlings a sweet lullaby
10
As the cool evening shadows grow long
11
Angels and nightingales gather at night
12
Just to hear mother Anna Lee's song
13
I'll return to you, dear, in the dimming of day
14
As the sparrow returns to her nest
15
I'll return to you dreaming with each lullaby
16
Hold your sweet weary head to my breast
17
I heard it one morning she rode into town
18
To tend to her dear sister there
19
She kissed her two babies on check and on brow
20
And left them with nary a care
21
The wind it did rise and the rain it did fall
22
The river, a shadowy wave
23
Anna Lee never heard danger's dark call
24
And was swept to her watery grave
25
I'll return to you, dear, in the dimming of day
26
As the sparrow returns to her nest
27
I'll return to you dreaming with each lullaby
28
Hold your sweet weary head to my breast
