Annalee
By Ellis Paul
Im skippin Cstones at the edge of the dockG  
A foAmg came rollin in, quiet like a haFwk
The riverCs so smooth, it could shatter with a rockG  
It feAmlt like I was walking on waterC  F  
Then the doctors daughter came and dove right in
Lord almighty, shes in nothing but skin
I could turn my head but she may never come again
Shes filling the sky with her laughter
Chorus
Annalee, ACnnaleeG  
Youre shaking tAmhe timbers youre rattling the leavesF  
Theres a full moon Crising in front of meG  
Come and stake your cAmlaim on my memoryC  F  
Annalee, Annalee
Did the good Lord send you down to deliver me
Come lay your head in a bed of leaves
I am here, I am yours for the taking
Well around about midnight on a riverboat ride
Im a mandolin jukebox and Annies at my side
One bottle empty, one waiting like a bride
Shes dancing like light on the water
Weve got six weeks till college, six weeks and then were gone
Oh, life is like a river and the rivers rolling on
So come on, Annie, you taste like brandy
Will you kiss me awake come morning?
Chorus
Bridge
CI cant promise a lifetime Amof tomorrows
FWhat tomorrow brings God only knowsG  
I know this aboCut tomorrow, were filling it with sorrowAm  
If we Flet tonight just endG  
Chorus

I could turn my head but she may never come again

Shes filling the sky with her laughter

Well around about midnight on a riverboat ride

Im a mandolin jukebox and Annies at my side

One bottle empty, one waiting like a bride

Shes dancing like light on the water

Weve got six weeks till college, six weeks and then were gone

Oh, life is like a river and the rivers rolling on

So come on, Annie, you taste like brandy

Will you kiss me awake come morning?
