[00:33.81]Willie Moore was a young man, his age 21
[00:37.97]And he courted a damsel fair
[00:42.29]Her eyes were as white as a diamond after night
[00:46.19]And a wavy jet black wore her hair
[00:54.29]He courted her night and day
[00:58.32]Until marriage they did agree
[01:02.63]But when he came to get her parents consent
[01:06.58]They said it could never be
[01:14.65]She threw herself in Willie Moore's arms
[01:19.04]As often she'd done before
[01:22.90]And little did he think when he left her that night
[01:26.99]Sweet Annie he would see no more
[01:51.62]It was about the 10th of May
[01:56.08]A time I remember it well
[01:59.85]That very same night little Annie disappeared
[02:03.92]In a way no tongue could tell
[02:12.01]Sweet Annie was loved both far and near
[02:16.22]She had friends almost all around
[02:20.39]And near a little brook not far from her home
[02:24.37]The body of sweet Annie were found
[02:48.95]Her parents now are left alone
[02:53.34]One mourns while the other'n weeps
[02:57.21]And near a grassy mound outside the cottage door
[03:01.25]The body of sweet Annie sleeps
[03:09.40]Willie Moore scarcely spoke to his friends they say
[03:13.58]From the moment they both did part
[03:17.76]And his last day was spent near his true lover's grave
[03:21.78]Where he died of a broken heart
