Lyrics
Annan water, you loom so deep and wide I would cross over if you would stem the tide Or build a boat that I might ford the other side To reach the farther shore where my true love lies in wait for me In wait for me, in wait for me, in wait for me O gray river, your waters ramble wild The horses shiver and bite against the bridle But I will cross if mine own horse is pulled from me Though my mother cries that if I try I sure will drowned be Will drowned be, will drowned be, will drowned be But if you calm and let me pass You may render me a wreck when I come back So calm your waves and slow the churn And you may have my precious bones on my return Annan water, oh hear my true love's call Hear her holler above your water's pall God that I could, that my two arms could give me wing And I would cross your breadth and rest my breast about her amber ring Her amber ring, her amber ring, her amber ring But if you calm and let me pass You may render me a wreck when I come back So calm your waves and slow the churn And you may have my precious bones on my, on my return
