Lyric

Maxwelton braes are bonnie

Where early fa’s the dew

And it’s there that Annie Laurie

Gie’d me her promise true

Gie’d me her promise true

Which ne’er forgot will be;

And for bonnie Annie Laurie

I’d lay me down and dee

Her brow is like the snawdrift

Her throat is like the swan

Her face it is the fairest

That e’er the sun shone on

That e’er the sun shone on;

And dark blue is her e’e

And for bonnie Annie Laurie

I’d lay me down and dee

Like dew on the gowan lying

Is the fa’ o’ her fairy feet

Like the winds in summer sighing

Her voice is low and sweet

Her voice is low and sweet;

She’s a’ the world to me

And for bonnie Annie Laurie

I’d lay me down and dee
