Willie Moore - Richard Burnett (理查德·伯内特)/Leonard Rut[00:00:00]

Written by：Traditional[00:00:00]

Willie Moore was a king his age twenty one[00:00:00]

He courted a damsel fair[00:00:05]

O her eyes was as bright[00:00:08]

As the diamonds everynight[00:00:11]

And wavy black was her hair[00:00:13]

He courted her both night and day[00:00:20]

'Til to marry they did agree[00:00:24]

But when he came to get her parents consent[00:00:28]

They said it could never be[00:00:32]

She threw herself in Willie Moore's arms[00:00:40]

As oftime had done before[00:00:44]

But little did he think when they parted that night[00:00:48]

Sweet Anna he would see no more[00:00:51]

It was about the tenth of May[00:01:18]

The time I remember well[00:01:22]

That very same night her body disappeared[00:01:26]

In a way no tongue could tell[00:01:30]

Sweet Annie was loved both far and near[00:01:37]

Had friends most all around[00:01:41]

And in a little brook before the cottage door[00:01:45]

The body of sweet Anna was found[00:01:49]

She was taken by her weeping friends[00:01:57]

And carried to her parent's room[00:02:00]

And there she was dressed[00:02:04]

In a gown of snowy white[00:02:06]

And laid her in a lonely tomb[00:02:08]

Her parents now are left all alone[00:02:16]

One mourns while the other weeps[00:02:20]

And in a grassy mound before the cottage door[00:02:23]

The body of sweet Anna still sleeps[00:02:27]

This song was composed in the flowery West[00:02:35]

By a man you May never have seen[00:02:39]

O I'll tell you his name but it is not[00:02:42]

In full[00:02:45]

His initials are J R D[00:02:46]
