I gave to you a hen, you gave it back again
Without its eggs, my Annie
I gave to you a hare, you really didn't care
Now it has no legs my Annie

Oh Annie let me in, I will fly I will swim
I will die if you don't come near me
Oh no, don't you say so
You are my dear my Annie

Oh Annie let me in, I will fly I will swim
I will die if you don't come near me
Oh no, don't you say so
You are my dear my Annie

I gave to you a dog, you threw for it a log
Now it won't come back my Annie
I gave to you a pig, it wan't very big
Now the meat's all black my Annie

Oh Annie let me in, I will fly I will swim
I will die if you don't come near me
Oh no, don't you say so
You are my dear my Annie

-Instrumental-

I gave to you a cow, you really don't know how
It flew away my Annie
I gave to you a horse, the silly fool of course
Well you rode away my

Annie let me in, I will fly I will swim
I will die if you don't so
Annie let me in, I will fly I will swim
I will die if you don't come near me
Oh no, don't you say so
You are my dear my
Annie let me in, I will fly I will swim
I will die if you don't come near me
Oh no, don't you say so
You are my dear my Annie

I gave to you my heart, you tore it all apart
When you rode away my Annie
