Annie Laurie William Douglas


arr. by Shelia Lee

Traditional Scottish

Maxwelton's braes are bonnie

Where early fa's the dew

And 'twas there that Annie Laurie

Gave me her promise true.

Gave me her promise true

Which ne'er forgot will be

And for bonnie Annie Laurie

I'd lay me doon and dee.

Her brow is like the snowdrift

Her throat is like the swan

Her face it is the fairest

That e'er the sun shone on.

That e'er the sun shone on

And dark blue is her e'e



Like dew on th'gowan lying

Is th' fa' o' her fairy feet

And like the winds in summer sighing

Her voice is low and sweet.

Her voice is low and sweet

And she's a' the world to me
