Maxwelton braes are bonnie,

  Where early fa's the dew;

And it's there that Annie Laurie

  Gied me her promise true;

Gied me her promise true,

  Which ne'er forgot will be;

And for bonnie Annie Laurie

  I'd lay me doun and dee.

Her brow is like the snaw-drift,

  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 ee;

And for bonnie Annie Laurie

  I'd lay me doun and dee.

Like dew on the gowan lying,

  Is the fa' o' her fairy feet;

And like winds in summer sighing,

  Her voice is low and sweet;

Her voice is low and sweet,

  And she's all the world to me;

And for bonnie Annie Laurie

  I'd lay me doun and dee.
