[Verse 1]
D G
Willie Moore was a king, his age twenty-one
D
He courted a damsel fair
G
Oh her eyes was as bright as the diamonds after night
G
And wavy black was her hair
[Verse 2]
D G
He courted her both night and day
D
'Til to marry they did agree
G
But when he came to get her parents consent
G
They said it could never be
[Verse 3]
D G
She threw herself in Willie Moore's arms
D
As oftime had done before
G
But little did he think when they parted that night
G
Sweet Annie he would see no more

[Verse 4]
D G
It was about the tenth of May
D
The time I remember well
G
That very same night, her body disappeared
G
In a way no tongue could tell
[Verse 5]
D G
Sweet Annie was loved both far and near
D
Had friends most all around
G
And in a little brook before the cottage door
G
The body of sweet Annie was found
[Verse 6]
D G
She was taken by her weeping friends
D
And carried to her parent's room
G
And there she was dressed in a shroud of snowy white
G
And laid in a lonely tomb
[Verse 7]
D G
Her parents now are left all alone
D
One mourns while the other one weeps
G
And in a grassy mound before the cottage door
G
The body of sweet Annie still sleeps
[Verse 8]
D G
This song was composed in the cloudy West
D
By a man you may never have seen
G
Oh I'll tell you his name, but it is not in full
G
His initials are JRD
[Instrumental]
