Maxwellton braes are bonnie
Where early fa's the dew
And 'twas there that Annie Laurie
Gave me her promise true
Gave me her promise true
Which ne'er forgot will be
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I lay me doon and dee

Her brow is like the snowdrift
Her throat is like a 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 lay me doon and dee

Like dew on th' 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 a' the world to me
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I lay me doon and dee
