[VERSE 1]
Am D Bm G Am D
Willie Moore was a young man, his age 21 and he courted a damsel fair
Bm G D G D C G D C G
Oh, her eyes were as white as a diamond after night and a wavy jet black wore her hair
Am D Bm G Am D
He courted her by night and day until marriage they did agree
Bm G D G D C G D C G
Oh, but when he came to get her parents' consent they said it could never be
Am D Bm G Am D
She threw herself in Willie Moore's hands as often they've done before
Bm G D G D C G
Oh, but little did he think as he left her that night, sweet Annie he would see no more

[VERSE 2]
Am D Bm G Am D
It was about the 10th of May, a time I remember it well
Bm G D G D C G D C G
That very same night little Annie disappeared in a way no tongue can tell
Am D Bm G Am D
Sweet Annie was loved both far and near, she had friends almost all around
Bm G D G D C G
And near a little brook not far from her home the body of sweet Annie were found
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Am D Bm G Am D
Bm G D G D C G D C G
[VERSE 3]
Am D Bm G Am D
Her parents now are left alone, one mourns while the other'n weeps
Bm G D G D C G D C G
And near a grassy mound outside the cottage door the body of sweet Annie sleeps
Am D Bm G Am D
Willie Moore scarcely spoke to his friends they say from the moment they both did part
Bm G D G D C G
And his last day was spent near his true lover's grave where he died of a broken heart
