Lyrics Annie Laurie (arr. Gamley) - Douglas Gamley, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa & National Philharmonic Orchestra




Maxwellton graves are bonnie
Where early falls the dew
And it's there that Annie Lawrie
Gave me a promise true
Gave me a promise true
Which nae forgot hae been
And for bonnie Annie Lawrie
I wad lay me doon and din
Her brow is like the snowcleft
Her neck is like the swan
Her face it is the fairest
That e'er the sun shone on
The day the sun shone on
And dark blue is her hair
And for bonnie Annie Lawrie
I wad lay me doon and din
Like the dew on the gowrie lying
Is the form o' her fairie feet
And like winds in the summer sighing
Her voice is low and sweet
Her voice is low and sweet
And she's all the world hae been
And for bonnie Annie Lawrie
I wad lay me doon and din
