about

Annie Laurie is an old Scottish song based on a poem by William Douglas. We have arranged it with a contemporary approach and changed the Scottish colloquialisms from 'doon & dee' to 'down & die'.

lyrics

Maxwelton's braes are bonny
Where early falls the dew
& it's there that Annie Laurie
Gave me her promise true.
Gave me her promise true
which ne'er forgot will be
& for bonny Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down & die.

Her brow is like the snowfall
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
& dark blue is her eye
& for bonny Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down & die.

Like dew on the gowan lying
Is the fall of her fairy feet
& like winds in summer sighing
Her voice is low & sweet.
Her voice is low & sweet
& she's the world to me
& for bonny Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down, lay me down,
I'd lay me down & die.
