99—ANNIE LAURIE

Maxwelton braes are bonnie,Where early fa's the dew,And it's there that Annie Laurie,Gie'd me her promise true,Gie'd me her promise trueWhich ne'er forgot will beAnd for bonnie Annie LaurieI'd lay me doon and dee.
Her brow is like the snaw-drift,Her neck is like the swan,Her face it is the fairest,That e'er the sun shone on,That e'er the sun shone on,And dark blue is her e'eAnd for bonnie Annie Laurie—I'd lay me doon and dee.
