[00:27.79]Harking is bonny and there lives my love
[00:35.76]My love lies on him and cannot remove
[00:46.29]It cannot remove for all that I have done
[00:54.16]And I never will forget my love Annachie
[01:04.80]For Annachie Gordon he's bonny and he's bright
[01:12.40]He'd entice any woman that e'er he saw
[01:22.16]He'd entice any woman and so he has done me

[01:47.95]Saying Jeannie you are trying the tricks of a whore
[01:58.21]You care nothing for a man who cares so much for thee
[02:05.49]You must marry Lord Sultan and leave Annachie

[03:17.71]I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie
[03:28.24]And you who are my parents to church you may me bring
[03:35.19]But onto Lord Sultan I'll never bear a son
[03:44.89]To a son or a daughter I'll never bow my knee
[03:52.83]And I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie.
