1
Willie Moore was a young man, his age 21 and he courted a damsel fair
2
Oh, her eyes were as white as a diamond after night and a wavy jet black wore her hair
3
He courted her by night and day until marriage they did agree
4
Oh, but when he came to get her parents' consent they said it could never be
5
She threw herself in Willie Moore's hands as often they've done before
6
Oh, but little did he think as he left her that night, sweet Annie he would see no more
7
It was about the 10th of may, a time i remember it well
8
That very same night little Annie disappeared in a way no tongue can tell
9
Sweet Annie was loved both far and near, she had friends almost all around
10
And near a little brook not far from her home the body of sweet Annie were found
11
Her parents now are left alone, one mourns while the other' weeps
12
And near a grassy mound outside the cottage door the body of sweet Annie sleeps
13
Willie Moore scarcely spoke to his friends they say from the moment they both did part
14
And his last day was spent near his true lover's grave where he died of a broken heart
