D A D
Listen now children a story I'll tell
G D
Of a woman they called Anna Lee
D A D
She had a fine son and she raised him up well
G D
And a daughter as lovely as she
[Chorus]
A D
I'll return to you, dear, in the dimming of day
G D
As the sparrow returns to her nest
D G D
I'll return to you dreaming with each lullaby
G D
Hold your sweet weary head to my breast
[Verse]
D A D
She sang to her darlings a sweet lullaby
G D
As the cool evening shadows grow long
D A D
Angels and nightingales gather at night
G D
Just to hear mother Anna Lee's song
[Chorus]
A D
I'll return to you, dear, in the dimming of day
G D
As the sparrow returns to her nest
D G D
I'll return to you dreaming with each lullaby
G D
Hold your sweet weary head to my breast
[Verse]
D A D
I heard it one morning she rode into town
G D
To tend to her dear sister there
D A D
She kissed her two babies on cheek and on brow
G D
And left them with nary a care
D A D
The wind it did rise and the rain it did fall
G D
The river, a shadowy wave
D A D
Anna Lee never heard danger's dark call
G D
And was swept to her watery grave
[Chorus]
A D
I'll return to you, dear, in the dimming of day
G D
As the sparrow returns to her nest
D G D
I'll return to you dreaming with each lullaby
G D
Hold your sweet weary head to my breast
