Testo Willie Moore - Doc & Merle Watson
Testo della canzone Willie Moore (Doc & Merle Watson), tratta dall'album The Definitive
Willie Moore was a young man, his age twenty-one
And he courted a damsel fair
Oh, her eyes were as bright as a diamond after night
And wavy black was her hair
He courted her by night and day
Till on marriage they did agree
But when he came to get her parents' consent
They said that it never could be
She threw herself in Willie Moore's arms
As often she'd done before
And little did he think when he left her that night
Sweet Annie he would see no more
Oh, it was about the tenth of May
The time I remember it well
That very same night sweet Annie disappeared
In a way no tongue can tell
Sweet Annie was loved both far and near
She had friends most all around
And in the little brook before the cottage door
The body of sweet Annie was found
She was taken by her weeping friends
And carried to her parents' room
And there she was dressed in a shroud of snowy white
And laid in a lonely tomb
Her parents now are left alone
One mourns while the other weeps
Beneath the grassy mound there near the cottage door
The body of sweet Annie sleeps
Willie Moore scarcely spoke to his friends they say
Till at length from them all he did part
And his last day was spent near his true lover's grave
Where he died of a broken heart
