lyrics

"Maxwelton Braes are bonnie where early fa's the dew,
And it's there that Annie Laurie gi'ed me her promise true.
Gi'ed me her promise true as ne'er forgot will be,
Aye for bonnie Annie Laurie I would lay me doon and dee.

Her brow is like the snowdrift, her throat is like the swan,
And her face it is the fairest that e'er the sun shone on.
As e'er the sun shone on and dark blue is her e'e,
Aye for bonnie Annie Laurie I would lay me doon and dee."
