[00:11.22]Willie Moore was a king his age twenty-one
[00:15.78]
[00:16.59]He courted a damsel fair
[00:19.46]
[00:21.95]O her eyes was as bright as the diamonds in the night
[00:26.88]And wavy black was her hair.
[00:29.56]
[00:32.09]He courted her both night and day
[00:35.83]
[00:37.39]'Til to marry they did agree
[00:40.39]
[00:42.57]But when he ask her parents consent
[00:46.13]
[00:48.11]They said it could never be.
[00:50.79]
[00:52.91]She threw herself in Willie Moore's arms
[00:57.17]
[00:58.55]As oftime had done before
[01:00.98]
[01:03.41]But little did he think when they parted that night
[01:09.97]
[01:10.48]Sweet Anna he would see no more.
[01:12.54]
[01:34.15]It was about the tenth of May
[01:38.08]
[01:39.20]The time I remember well
[01:42.13]
[01:44.25]That very same night her body disappeared
[01:48.31]
[01:50.16]In a way no tongue could tell.
[01:52.60]
[01:54.67]Sweet Annie was loved both far and near
[01:58.12]
[01:59.92]Had friends most all around
[02:02.87]
[02:05.25]And in a little brook before the cottage door
[02:09.31]
[02:10.06]The body of sweet Anna was found.
[02:13.36]
[02:15.55]She was taken by her weeping friends
[02:18.86]
[02:20.59]And carried to her  room
[02:23.21]
[02:25.61]And there she was dressed in a gown of snowy white
[02:29.61]
[02:30.30]And laid her in a lonely tomb.
[02:32.73]
[02:35.91]Her parents now are left all alone
[02:40.35]
[02:41.16]One mourns while the other one weeps
[02:44.47]
[02:46.28]And in a grassy mound before the cottage door
[02:51.36]
[02:52.18]The body of sweet Anna still sleeps.
[02:54.56]
[02:56.39]Willie Moore never spoke that anyone heard
[03:00.90]And at length from his friends did part
[03:03.31]
[03:04.05]And the last heard from him he'd gone to Montreal
[03:10.42]
[03:10.98]Where he died of a broken heart.
