Annabelle |
| Leased twenty acres |
| And one jimmy mule |
| From the Alabama Trust |
| Half of cotton, third of corn |
| Get a hand full of dust |
| We cannot have all things pleasin' |
| No matter how we try |
| Until we’ve all gone to Jesus |
| We can only wonder why |
| I had a daughter |
| Called her Annabelle |
| She’s the apple of my eye |
| Tried to give her something like I never had |
| Didn’t want to ever hear her cry |
| We cannot have all things pleasing |
| No matter how we try |
| Until we’ve all gone to Jesus |
| We can only wonder why |
| When I’m dead and buried |
| I’ll take a hard life of tears |
| Every day I’ve ever known |
| Anna’s in the churchyard |
| She’s got no life at all |
| She only got these words on stone: |
| We cannot have all things pleasing |
| No matter how we try |
| Until we’ve all gone to Jesus |
| We can only wonder why |
