[VERSE 1]

Am D Bm G Am D

Willie Moore was a young man, his age 21 and he courted a damsel fair

Bm G D G D C G D C G

Oh, her eyes were as white as a diamond after night and a wavy jet black wore her hair

Am D Bm G Am D

He courted her by night and day until marriage they did agree

Bm G D G D C G D C G

Oh, but when he came to get her parents' consent they said it could never be

Am D Bm G Am D

She threw herself in Willie Moore's hands as often they've done before

Bm G D G D C G

Oh, but little did he think as he left her that night, sweet Annie he would see no more

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Am D Bm G Am D

Bm G D G D C G D C G

[VERSE 2]

Am D Bm G Am D

It was about the 10th of May, a time I remember it well

Bm G D G D C G D C G

That very same night little Annie disappeared in a way no tongue can tell

Am D Bm G Am D

Sweet Annie was loved both far and near, she had friends almost all around

Bm G D G D C G

And near a little brook not far from her home the body of sweet Annie were found

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Am D Bm G Am D

Bm G D G D C G D C G

[VERSE 3]

Am D Bm G Am D

Her parents now are left alone, one mourns while the other'n weeps

Bm G D G D C G D C G

And near a grassy mound outside the cottage door the body of sweet Annie sleeps

Am D Bm G Am D

Willie Moore scarcely spoke to his friends they say from the moment they both did part

Bm G D G D C G

And his last day was spent near his true lover's grave where he died of a broken heart
