《Willie Moore》歌词

[00:00:00] Willie Moore - Richard Burnett (理查德·伯内特)/Leonard Rut

[00:00:00] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:00] Willie Moore was a king his age twenty one

[00:00:05] He courted a damsel fair

[00:00:08] O her eyes was as bright

[00:00:11] As the diamonds everynight

[00:00:13] And wavy black was her hair

[00:00:20] He courted her both night and day

[00:00:24] 'Til to marry they did agree

[00:00:28] But when he came to get her parents consent

[00:00:32] They said it could never be

[00:00:40] She threw herself in Willie Moore's arms

[00:00:44] As oftime had done before

[00:00:48] But little did he think when they parted that night

[00:00:51] Sweet Anna he would see no more

[00:01:18] It was about the tenth of May

[00:01:22] The time I remember well

[00:01:26] That very same night her body disappeared

[00:01:30] In a way no tongue could tell

[00:01:37] Sweet Annie was loved both far and near

[00:01:41] Had friends most all around

[00:01:45] And in a little brook before the cottage door

[00:01:49] The body of sweet Anna was found

[00:01:57] She was taken by her weeping friends

[00:02:00] And carried to her parent's room

[00:02:04] And there she was dressed

[00:02:06] In a gown of snowy white

[00:02:08] And laid her in a lonely tomb

[00:02:16] Her parents now are left all alone

[00:02:20] One mourns while the other weeps

[00:02:23] And in a grassy mound before the cottage door

[00:02:27] The body of sweet Anna still sleeps

[00:02:35] This song was composed in the flowery West

[00:02:39] By a man you May never have seen

[00:02:42] O I'll tell you his name but it is not

[00:02:45] In full

[00:02:46] His initials are J R D
