Annie

There once a girl
Who lived by the fence
She smiled watercolors
And she sang and she lived
Though happy she seemed
She did not quite fit in
In her world we created
She saw nothing but sin
She’s run away
Oh, Annie, I will love you
And won’t you please, won’t you come home today?
Oh, Annie, I will need you
And won’t you please, won’t you come home to stay?
Oh, Annie’s run away
I heard you’ve been 'round
Sleepin' all over town
Trying to make ends meet
They say you’ve nothing to eat
Well, Annie, I’ve been there
And I know what it’s like
See, we’ve all got our cross to bear;
Still, that don’t make it right
To run away
Oh, Annie, I will love you
And won’t you please, won’t you come home today?
Oh, Annie, I will need you
And won’t you please, won’t you come home to stay?
Oh, Annie’s run away
Heaven hears Mom cryin'
Momma fears Dad’s dyin'
All because their baby’s run
All alone
Won’t you come home?
Annie, won’t you please?
Annie, won’t you please?
Oh, Annie, I will love you
Oh, Annie, I will need you
Oh, Annie, I will love you
Won’t you come home?
