Sharon Shannon - Anachie Gordon lyrics

rate me

Harking is bonny and there lives my love

My heart lies on him and will not remove

It will not remove for all that I have done

Oh I never will forget my love Annachie

For Annachie Gordon he's bonny and he's bright

He'd entice any woman that ever he saw

He'd entice any woman and so he has done me

Oh I never will forget my love Annachie

Down came her father and he's standing by the door

Saying Jeannie you are trying the tricks of a whore

You care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee

You must marry Lord Sultan and leave Annachie

For Annachie Gordon is barely but a man

Although he may be pretty but where are his lands

The Sultan's lands are broad and his towers they run high

You must marry Lord Sultan and leave Annachie.

With Annachie Gordon I beg for my bread

And before I marry Sultan his gold to my head

With gold to my head and straight down to my knee

And I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie

And you who are my parents to church you may me bring

But unto Lord Sultan I'll never bear a son

To a son or a daughter I'll never bow my knee

And I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie.

Jeannie was married and from church was brought home

When she and her maidens so merry should have been

When she and her maidens so merry should have been

She ran into her chamber and she cries all alone.

Come to bed my Jeannie my honey and my sweet

For to stile you my mistress it would be so sweet

Be it mistress or Jeannie it's all the same to me

But in your bed Lord Sultan I never will lie

And down came her father and he's spoken with renown

Saying you that are her maidens

Go loosen up her gowns

And she fell down to the floor

So close down by his knee saying

Father look I'm dying for my love Annachie.

The day that Jeannie married was the day that Jeannie died

And the day that young Annachie came home on the tide

And down came her maiden all wringing of their hands

saying lord it's been so long, you've been so long on the sands

So long on the sands, so long upon the flood

They have married your Jeannie and now she lies dead.

You who are her maidens come take me by the hand

And take me to the chamber that my love she lies in

And he kissed her cold lips his heart it turned to stone

And he&amp;#8217;s died in the chamber that his love she lies in.<br />
