nic jones - annan water lyrics

Loading...

oh annan water´s wondrous deep,
and my love annie ist wondrous bonny,
i loathe that she should wet her feet
because i love her more than any.
go saddle for me the bonny grey mare,
go saddle her soon and make her ready,
for i must cross that stream tonight,
or never more i`ll see my annie.

and woe bet-te you annan water,
at night you are a gloomy river,
and over you i´ll build a bridge,
that never more true love may sever.

and he has ridden over field and fen,
over more and moss and many´s the mire,
his spures of steel were sore to bite,
sparks from the mare´s hooves flew like fire.
the mare flew on over more and moss,
and when she reached the annan water,
she couldn`t have ridden a furlong more,
had a thousand whips been laid up-rn her.

and woe betide you, annan water,
at night you are a gloomy river,
and over you i´ll build a bridge,
that nerver more true love may sever.

oh, boatman, come, put of your boat,
put of your boat for gold and money,
for i must cross that stream tonight
or never more i´ll see my lady.
the sides are steep, the water´s deep,
from bank to brae the waterr´s pouring,
and the bonny grey mare she sweats for fear,
she stands to hear the water roaring.

and woe betide you, annan water,
at night you are a gloomy river,
and over you i´ll build a bridge,
that never more true love may sever.

and he has tried to swim that sream,
and he swam on both strong and steady,
but the river was wide and strength did fail,
and never more he´ll see sis annie.
and woe betide the bush and briar,
fore they broke beneath her true love´s hand,
when strength did fail and limbs did tire.

and woe betide you, annan water,
at night you are a gloomy river,
and over you i´ll build a bridge,
that never mote true love may sever.
