Song Lyrics

And down came her maidens and they re wringing of their hands, the day that jeanie married was the day that jeanie died, and you that are my parents oh to church you may me bring
I ll die if i don t get my love annachie, you care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee The, for annachie gordon
and up and spoke her father and he s spoken with renown
And up and spoke her father and he s spoken with renown, and down came her maidens and they re wringing of their hands
you care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee

and he s died in the chamber where his true love lay in
ah but unto lord salton oh i ll never bear a son
Oh they ve married your jeanie and now she is dead, that s the day that young annachie come rolling from the tide
saying woe to you annachie for staying from the sands
For it s in your bed lord salton i never shall be, before that i d marry salton with gold to my head The, oh they ve married your jeanie and now she is dead

He d entice any woman that ever him saw, all you who are her maidens won t you loosen off her gown Gordon, down came her father
you must marry with lord salton and forget young annachie
Saying woe to you annachie for staying from the sands, you must marry with lord salton and leave young annachie
You must marry with lord salton and forget young annachie, but she fell down in a swoon The, he d entice any woman that ever him saw
With gold to my head and with gowns fringed to the knee, saying look on for i m dying for my love annachie Annachie, it will not remove for all that i have done

A son or a daughter oh i ll never bow my knee, when she and her maidens so merry should have been
and he s died in the chamber where his true love lay in
For annachie gordon he s only but a man, oh my honey and my sweet, oh they ve married your jeanie and now she is dead
The day that jeanie married was the day that jeanie died, and down came her maidens and they re wringing of their hands, and down came her maidens and they re wringing of their hands
saying jeanie you re trying the tricks of a whore

My heart it lies on him, oh he s bonny and he s braw
He d entice any woman and so he has done me, that s the day that young annachie come rolling from the tide Annachie, and he s kissed her cold lips until his heart turned to stone
And he s kissed her cold lips until his heart turned to stone, oh never will i forget my love annachie, you care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee
and he s died in the chamber where his true love lay in
So long from the land and so long upon the flood, oh it s mistress or jeanie it s all the same to me, you care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee

so low down by their knees
he d entice any woman and so he has done me
you must marry with lord salton and forget young annachie
For annachie gordon, come to bed now jeanie
Oh he s bonny and he s braw, the day that jeanie married was the day that jeanie died, oh she s gone to a chamber and she s crying all alone

Won t you lead me to the chamber that my love lies in, oh never will i forget my love annachie
Although he may be pretty but where are all his lands, oh they ve married your jeanie and now she is dead Annachie, for it s in your bed lord salton i never shall be
And he s died in the chamber where his true love lay in, saying jeanie you re trying the tricks of a whore
A son or a daughter oh i ll never bow my knee, won t you lead me to the chamber that my love lies in
Oh she s gone to a chamber and she s crying all alone, for annachie gordon he s only but a man

Standing on the floor, come to bed now jeanie
For annachie gordon, for to style you my mistress it would not be meet
