[00:27.79]Harking is bonny and there lives my love
[00:35.76]My love lies on him and cannot remove
[00:46.29]It cannot remove for all that I have done
[00:54.16]And I never will forget my love Annachie
[01:04.80]For Annachie Gordon he's bonny and he's bright
[01:12.40]He'd entice any woman that e'er he saw
[01:22.16]He'd entice any woman and so he has done me
[01:29.93]And I never will forget my love Annachie.
[01:40.45]Down came her father and he's standing at the door
[01:47.95]Saying Jeannie you are trying the tricks of a whore
[01:58.21]You care nothing for a man who cares so much for thee
[02:05.49]You must marry Lord Sultan and leave Annachie
[02:15.95]For Annachie Gordon is barely but a man
[02:23.17]Although he may be pretty but where are his lands
[02:32.81]For the Sultan's lands are broad and his towers they run high
[02:40.81]You must marry Lord Sultan and leave Annachie.
[02:51.26]
[02:52.00]With Annachie Gordon I beg for my bread
[02:59.66]Before I marry Sultan his gold to my head
[03:10.14]With gold to my head and straight down to my knee
[03:17.71]I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie
[03:28.24]And you who are my parents to church you may me bring
[03:35.19]But onto Lord Sultan I'll never bear a son
[03:44.89]To a son or a daughter I'll never bow my knee
[03:52.83]And I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie.
[04:02.86]
[04:04.14]Jeannie was married and from church was brought home
[04:12.05]When she and her maidens so merry should have been
[04:22.23]When she and her maidens so merry should have been
[04:29.49]She goes into her chamber and cries all alone.
[04:39.79]
[04:41.45]Come to bed my Jeannie my honey and my sweet
[04:49.59]To stile you my mistress it would be so sweet
[04:59.85]Be it mistress or Jeannie it's all the same to me
[05:06.87]But in your bed Lord Sultan I never will lie
[05:17.43]And down came her father and he's spoken with reknown
[05:24.53]Saying you who are her maidens
[05:28.88]Go loosen up her gowns
[05:32.13]And she fell down to the floor
[05:35.86]And straight down to his knee saying
[05:41.55]Father look I'm dying for my love Annachie.
[05:51.06]
[06:14.67]The day that she married was the day that Jeannie died
[06:22.41]And the day that young Annachie came home on the tide
[06:33.02]And down came her maidens all wringing of their hands
[06:40.24]Saying oh it's been so long? You've been so long on the sands
[06:50.34]So long on the sands so long on the flood
[06:58.02]They have married your Jeannie and now she lies dead.
[07:09.22]
[07:10.86]You who are her maidens come take me by the hand
[07:18.65]And lead me to the chamber where my love she lies in
[07:28.78]And he kissed her cold lips till his heart it turned to stone
[07:36.36]And he died in the chamber that his love she lies in.
