Lyrics Willie Moore - Joan Baez
Willie
Moore
Willie
Moore
was
a
King,
his
age
twenty-one
Courted
a
maiden
fair;
Her
eyes
were
like
two
diamonds
bright
Raven
black
was
her
hair,
hmmm
hmmm
hmmm...
He
courted
her
both
day
and
night,
To
marry
him
she
did
agree,
But
when
they
went
to
get
her
parents′
consent,
They
said,
"This
could
never
be,"
hmmm,
hmmm,
hmmm...
"I
love
Willie
Moore,"
sweet
Annie
replied,
"Better
than
I
love
my
life,
And
l
would
rather
die
than
weep
here
and
cry,
Never
to
be
his
wife,"
hmmm,
hmmm,
hmmm...
That
very
same
night
sweet
Anne
disappeared,
They
searched
the
country
'round
In
a
little
stream
by
the
cabin
door,
The
body
of
sweet
Annie
was
found′
hmmm,
hmmm,
hmm
Sweet
Annie's
parents
they
live
all
alone,
One
mourns,
the
other
cries,
Ln
a
little
green
mound
in
front
of
their
door
The
body
of
sweet
Annie
now
lies.
Willie
Moore
scarce
spoke
that
anyone
knew,
Soon
from
his
friends
did
part;
And
the
last
heard
of
him
was
he's
on
Montreal
Where
he
died
of
a
broken
heart.
