Annie Laurie

Maxwelton braes are bonnie
Where early fa's the dew
And 'twas there that Annie Laurie
Gie'd me her promise true--
Gie'd me her promise true
Which ne'er forgot will be;
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me doune and dee

Her brow is like the snawdrift
Her throat 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 Laurie
I'd lay me doune and dee

Like dew on the gowan lying
Is the fa' o' her fairy feet;
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 doune and dee
