[Verse 1]
Annie, loving Annie
Come give me your hand
You said that if you marry
I could be the man

[Chorus]
The roving, the roving of her eye
I knew her love was changing
By the roving of her eye

[Verse 2]
Early in the summer
My Annie passed me by
I knew her love was changing
By the roving of her eye

[Chorus]
The roving, the roving of her eye
I knew her love was changing
By the roving of her eye
The roving, the roving of her eye
I knew her love was changing
By the roving of her eye

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Later in the summer
With a bottle in my hand
Saying, "Drink with me, my Annie
For our love is at an end"
I go down to the water
When everyone's asleep
And I'll think of loving Annie
Wherever she may be

[Chorus]
The roving, the roving of her eye
I knew her love was changing
By the roving of her eye
The roving, the roving of her eye
I knew her love was changing
By the roving of her eye
The roving, the roving of her eye
I knew her love was changing
By the roving of her eye
The roving, the roving of her eye
I knew her love was changing
By the roving of her eye

[Instrumental Outro]
