david mallett - the last time i saw annie lyrics

Loading...

well they say that annie’s married
and livin’ on the mainland
and workin’ as a waitress
while her husband runs a crane
but the last time i saw annie
we were s’posed to meet in calais
back in nineteen sixty-seven
but my annie never came

now some people are farmers
and others farm the oceans
and some men own the factories that clutter up the towns
and some people are good folks
and others they’re just outlaws
but annie was an angel, and me, i hang around

now the old man at the station
say’s he’s got a pint of whisky
and he keeps it mighty handy
and forgets the things he’s told
and i’m headin’ out for nowhere
for ten days dodgin’ memories
and ten nights in a barroom
and i know it’s gettin’ cold

now i know that i’ll forget her
’cause i try not to remember
but i’ve always been a dreamer
dreamin’ dreams of long ago
but the last time i saw annie
we were s’posed to meet in calais
when we both we young and hungry
but my annie never showed

now the road does not run smooth
it runs in gentle desperation
and there are memories of the kindness
that we find along the way
and they say that annie’s married
and she saves for her vacation
it’s a solid situation and it p-sses time away
but the last time i saw annie
we were s’posed to meet in calais
back in nineteen sixty-seven
but my annie never came
