Annie

Annie

Annie won’t you come to me when the summer sun is bright
Annie won’t you come to me with the full moon rising high
Annie won’t you dance with me; I want to hear your laughter fly
Annie you’re more beautiful than the stars up in the sky
Than the stars up in the sky

Annie won’t you come to me once I’ve got the harvest in
though the wages that they’re giving won’t pay the price of sin
Annie won’t you take my hand, I’ll be sure to wash it clean
Annie won’t you come to me and be my love again
Oh, be my love again.

Annie won’t you come to me now I’ve built us up a house
It’s not anybody’s mansion, but it’ll keep the winter out.
Annie won’t you come to me and sit here by this fire
Annie won’t you come to me, you’re my heart’s one true desire
You’re my heart’s one true desire.

Annie won’t you come to me before I get too old
I feel the season changing and the coming of the cold
Annie won’t you come to me before I make my will
Annie won’t you come to me, you know I love you still
You know I love you still

Annie won’t you come to me, and sit here by my side
And sing me one more song of love, and I’ll be satisfied
To see your smile and hear your voice and look into your eyes
Annie won’t you come to me before I reach my time
Before I reach my time.

Oh, Annie won’t you come to me, just one more time…
