Kate Rusby (born 4 December 1973 in Barnsley; currently based in Penistone, Yorkshire) is an English folksinger and one of the most popular folk singers of traditional English folk songs. She was at the centre of the folk revival in the 1990s which occurred with the coming of age of the children of those who were part of the 60s folk revival. In 2001 The Guardian described her as "a superstar of the British acoustic scene". In 2007 the BBC website described her as "The first lady of young folkies".

EE I gave to you a hen, EB You gave it back again, BA Without it's eggs, E My Annie. EE I gave to you a hare, EB You really didn't care, AB Now it has no legs, E My Annie.
CHORUS:
AE Oh Annie let me in, AE I will fly, I will swim, AEB I will die if you don't come near me, C#mAEB Oh no, don't you say so, ABE You are my dear, My Annie
[And then it just goes on in the same way]
I gave to you a dog, You threw for it a log, Now it won't come back, My Annie. I gave to you a pig, Though it wasn't very big, Now the meats all black, My Annie.
Chorus.
I gave to you a cow, You really don't know how, It flew away, My Annie. I gave to you a horse, I'm a silly fool of course, For you rode away, My Annie.
Chorus.
I gave to you my heart, You tore it all apart, When you rode away, My Annie
