Lyrics & music: john popper



Maxwellton'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

Her brow, is like the snowdrift

Her neck 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

I'd lay me down and dee
