Annie Lee.
Annie Lee is fair and sweet,
Fair and sweet to look upon;
But Annie's heart is all deceit,
Therefore Annie Lee, begone!
Fair and sweet to look upon;
But Annie's heart is all deceit,
Therefore Annie Lee, begone!
Sweeter than a golden bell
Sound her winning words, each one;—
From a fount of fraud they well;
Therefore Annie Lee, begone!
Sound her winning words, each one;—
From a fount of fraud they well;
Therefore Annie Lee, begone!
In those deep blue orbs, her eyes,
Pity's built herself a throne;
Pity? Guile in Pity's guise:
Therefore Annie Lee, begone!
Pity's built herself a throne;
Pity? Guile in Pity's guise:
Therefore Annie Lee, begone!
Charming Annie Lee, begone!
Cunning Annie Lee, begone!
I'd not have thee for a world,
Tho' so fair to look upon.
Cunning Annie Lee, begone!
I'd not have thee for a world,
Tho' so fair to look upon.
