C7MaxFwelton's braes are A#bonnie
Where Fearly G7fa's the C7dew
And 'twas Fthere that Annie A#Laurie
Gave Fme her C7promise Ftrue.
C7Gave Fme her C7promise Ftrue
CWhich Dmne'er forGmgot will Abe
And for A#bonnie Annie FLaurie
C7I'd Flay me C7doon and Fdee.
C7Her Fbrow is like the A#snawdrift
Her Fneck is G7like the C7swan
Her Fface it is the A#fairest
That Fe'er the C7sun shone Fon.
C7That Fe'er the C7sun shone Fon
CAnd Dmdark blue Gmis her Ae'e
And for A#bonnie Annie FLaurie
C7I'd Flay me C7doon and Fdee.
C7Like Fdew on the gowan A#lying
Is the Ffa' o' her G7fairy C7feet
And like Fwind in summer A#sighing
Her Fvoice is C7low and Fsweet.
C7Her Fvoice is C7low and Fsweet
CShe's Dma' the Gmworld to Ame
And for A#bonnie Annie FLaurie
C7I'd Flay me C7doon and Fdee.
