Willie Moore |
| Willie moore was a young man, his age 21 and he courted a damsel fair |
| Oh, her eyes were as white as a diamond after night and a wavy jet black wore |
| her hair |
| He courted her by night and day until marriage they did agree |
| Oh, but when he came to get her parents' consent they said it could never be |
| She threw herself in willie moore’s hands as often they’ve done before |
| Oh, but little did he think as he left her that night, sweet annie he would see |
| no more |
| It was about the 10th of may, a time i remember it well |
| That very same night little annie disappeared in a way no tongue can tell |
| Sweet annie was loved both far and near, she had friends almost all around |
| And near a little brook not far from her home the body of sweet annie were found |
| Her parents now are left alone, one mourns while the other’n weeps |
| And near a grassy mound outside the cottage door the body of sweet annie sleeps |
| Willie moore scarcely spoke to his friends they say from the moment they both |
| did part |
| And his last day was spent near his true lover’s grave where he died of a |
| broken heart |
