Maxwelton s braes are bonnie
Where early fa s the dew
And twas 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 snawdrift
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 doon and dee.
Like dew on the gowan lying
Is the fa o her fairy feet
And like wind in summer sighing
Her voice is low and sweet.
Her voice is low and sweet
She s a the world to me
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I d lay me doon and dee.
