[G7] Max [C] welton's braes are [F] bonnie, where [C] early [D7] falls the [G7] dew
and its [C] there that Annie [F] Laurie gave [C] me her [F+6] pro [G7] mise [C] true
[G7] Gave [C] me her [G] promise [C] true
[G] Which [Am] ne'er for [Dm] got will [E] be
[G7] and for [Am] bonnie [F] Annie [C] Laurie
[E7] I'd [Am] lay me [F+6] down [G7] and [C] dee

Her brow is like the snowdrift, her throat is like the swan
her face it is the fairest, that e'er the sun shone on
That e'er the sun shone on
and dark blue is her e'e
and for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down and dee

Like dew on the gowan lying, is the fa' o'her fairy feet
and like winds in summer sighing, her voice is low and sweet
Her voice is low and sweet
and she's a' the world to me
and for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down and dee

*** by William Douglas, 1685 for Sir Robert Laurie's daughter
