My Sweet Annette |
| Me and my Annette, we was as fond as we could be |
| We was set to marry in October '33 |
| I set my sights to courtin' her, as fine as she could be |
| I never ever noticed her best friend Marilee |
| Took a job at the saw mill and I bought my girl a ring |
| Had a pre-wedding party, close friends and family |
| Everything was fine, eatin' homemade ice cream |
| I swear I never noticed maid of honor Marilee |
| And my sweet Annette was left standing at the altar |
| My sweet Annette was left standing at the altar |
| Marilee was taken ill, it was several miles from home |
| Back then it wasn’t fittin' for a girl to leave alone |
| Sweet Annette, she asked me to walk her to the door |
| As innocent as children back before the war |
| And my sweet Annette was left standing at the altar |
| My sweet Annette was left standing at the altar |
| Lord have mercy for what we done |
| Lord have mercy when two people get alone |
| Neither one of us had done anything like that, you see |
| By the next sunset, I had eloped with Marilee |
| By the next sunset, I had eloped with Marilee |
| By the next sunset, I had eloped with Marilee |
| My sweet Annette was left standing at the altar |
