Listen now children a story I'll tell of a woman they called Anna Lee |
| [00:38.61] |
She had a fine son and she raised him up well |
| [00:44.75] |
And a daughter as lovely as she |
| [00:51.22] |
I'll return to you, dear, in the dimming of day |
| [00:57.49] |
As the sparrow returns to her nest |
| [01:04.02] |
I'll return to you dreaming with each lullaby |
| [01:10.51] |
Hold your sweet weary head to my breast |
| [01:17.42] |
She sang to her darlings a sweet lullaby |
| [01:23.62] |
As the cool evening shadows grow long |
| [01:30.74] |
Angels and nightingales gather at night |
| [01:36.56] |
Just to hear mother Anna Lee's song |
| [01:43.20] |
I'll return to you, dear, in the dimming of day |
| [01:49.53] |
As the sparrow returns to her nest |
| [01:56.08] |
I'll return to you dreaming with each lullaby |
| [02:02.63] |
Hold your sweet weary head to my breast |
| [02:22.51] |
I heard it one morning she rode into town |
| [02:28.76] |
To tend to her dear sister there |
| [02:35.35] |
She kissed her two babies on check and on brow |
| [02:41.88] |
And left them with nary a care |
| [02:48.45] |
The wind it did rise and the rain it did fall |
| [02:54.90] |
The river, a shadowy wave |
| [03:01.35] |
Anna Lee never heard danger's dark call |
| [03:07.66] |
And was swept to her watery grave |
| [03:14.27] |
I'll return to you, dear, in the dimming of day |
| [03:20.50] |
As the sparrow returns to her nest |
| [03:27.46] |
I'll return to you dreaming with each lullaby |
| [03:33.91] |
Hold your sweet weary head to my breast |
