Annie Laurie Songtext

von Andreas Scholl

Maxwelton braes are bonnie
Where early falls the dew
And it was there that Annie Laurie
Gave me her promise true
Gave me her promise true
Which never forgot will be
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I would lay me down and die
Her brow is like the snow drift
Her throat is like the swans
Her face it is the fairest
That ever the sun shone on
That ever the sun shone on
And dark blue is her eye
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I would lay me down and die
Like dew on the gowan lying
Is the fall of her fairy feet
And like the winds in summer sighing
Her voice is low and sweet
Her voice is low and sweet
And she's all the world to me
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down and die
