Broadside ballad entitled 'Sweet Annie o' the Winding Dee'

Transcription

Sweet
Annie o' the W inding Dee

PRICE ONE PENNY.

This fine song can only be had in the Poets

Box,
Air?Original.

Wild flowers may deck the verdant vale,
And perfume sweet the balmy gale,
They ne'er can be compar'd to thee,

Dear Annie o' the winding Dee.

          Sweet Annie o' the winding Dee,

Dear Annie o' the winding Dee-

There's nane to me sae blythe and free

As Annie o' the winding Dee.

The mottled thrush may sweetly sing,

And make the woods wi' echo ring ,

But sweeter far your voice tac me,

Dear Annie o' the winding Dee.

Sweet Annie o' the winding Dee.

The dew at eve may lichtly fa'

Upon the wee flowers blooming a'

But lichter far ye tread the lea,

Dear Annie o' the winding Dee.

Sweet Annie o' the winding Dee,&c.

The stars aboon may twinkle bricht,

And golden sun wi' radiant licht,
But brichter shines the hazel e'e,

Dear Annie o' the winding Dee.

          Sweet Annie o' the winding Dee,

Kind Annie o' the winding Dee?
You're dear as life and light to me.
Sweet Annie o' the winding Dee.
