Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Willie Moore[00:00:00]
Willie Moore was a king his age twenty-one[00:00:11]
He courted a damsel fair[00:00:16]
O her eyes was as bright as the diamonds in the night[00:00:21]
And wavy black was her hair [00:00:26]
He courted her both night and day[00:00:32]
'Til to marry they did agree[00:00:37]
But when he ask her parents consent[00:00:42]
They said it could never be [00:00:48]
She threw herself in Willie Moore's arms[00:00:52]
As oftime had done before[00:00:58]
But little did he think when they parted that night[00:01:03]
Sweet Anna he would see no more [00:01:10]
It was about the tenth of May[00:01:34]
The time I remember well[00:01:39]
That very same night her body disappeared[00:01:44]
In a way no tongue could tell [00:01:50]
Sweet Annie was loved both far and near[00:01:54]
Had friends most all around[00:01:59]
And in a little brook before the cottage door[00:02:05]
The body of sweet Anna was found [00:02:10]
She was taken by her weeping friends[00:02:15]
And carried to her room[00:02:20]
And there she was dressed in a gown of snowy white[00:02:25]
And laid her in a lonely tomb [00:02:30]
Her parents now are left all alone[00:02:35]
One mourns while the other one weeps[00:02:41]
And in a grassy mound before the cottage door[00:02:46]
The body of sweet Anna still sleeps [00:02:52]
Willie Moore never spoke that anyone heard[00:02:56]
And at length from his friends did part[00:03:00]
And the last heard from him he'd gone to Montreal[00:03:04]
Where he died of a broken heart [00:03:10]
Willie Moore was a king his age twenty-one[00:03:36]
He courted a damsel fair[00:03:42]
O her eyes was as bright as the diamonds in the night[00:03:47]
And wavy black was her hair[00:03:52]
