gillian welch - annabelle (alternate version) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i lease twenty acres and one jenny mule
from the alabama trust
half of the cotton, a third of the corn
ya get a handful of dust

[chorus]
and we cannot have all things to please us
no matter how we try
until we’ve all gone to jesus
we can only wonder why

[verse 2]
i had a daughter, called her annabelle
she’s the apple of my eye
tried to give her something like i never had
i didn’t want to ever hear her cry

[chorus]
and we cannot have all things to please us
no matter how we try
until we’ve all gone to jesus
we can only wonder why

[verse 3]
when i’m dead and buried i’ll take a hard life of tears
for every day i’ve ever known
anna’s in the churchyard, she’s got no life at all
she’s only got these words on a stone

[chorus]
and we cannot have all things to please us
no matter how we try
until we’ve all gone to jesus
we can only wonder why

[outro]
until we’ve all gone to jesus
we only wonder why
