Annie Laurie by Alicia Scott — Lyrics
1.
Maxwell ton's braes are bonnie,
Where early fa's the dew,
And it's there that Annie Laurie,
Gave me her promise true.
Gave me her promise true,
Which ne'er forgot will be,
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me doon and dee.
2.
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.
