Lyrics
One two, one two three four Annan Water's wondrous deep My love Annie's wondrous bonny I'm loathed that she should wet her feet Because I love her best of any Go saddle for me my bonny grey mare Go saddle her soon and make her ready For I must cross that river tonight All to see my bonny lady And woe betide you Annan Water At night you are a gloomy river And over you I'll build a bridge That never more true love may sever He's ridden over field and fell On moor and moss and many a mile And his spurs of steel were sore to bite And from the mare's feet flew the fire He's ridden over moss and moor And when she'd won the Annan Water She couldn't have ridden a furlong more Had a thousand whips been laid upon her And woe betide you Annan Water At night you are a gloomy river And over you I'll build a bridge That never more true love may sever (Piano) Come boatman, come put up your boat Put up your boat for gold and money For I must cross that river tonight Or never more I'll see my Annie The water's deep, the sides are steep From bank to brae the water's roaring And your bonny grey mare she sweats for fear She stands to hear the water's roaring And woe betide you Annan Water At night you are a gloomy river And over you I'll build a bridge That never more true love may sever He has tried to swim that stream He swum on so strong and steady But the waters roared around his head Nevermore he saw his Annie And woe betide the willow wand And woe betide the bush of briar For it broke beneath the true lover's hand When strength did fail and limbs did tire (Limbs die tire, limbs did) And woe betide you Annan Water At night you are a gloomy river And over you I'll build a bridge That never more true love may sever Ellis Paul, Robert Lloyd.
