me when the
crops was failing and the chickens died
You ran away from my little red
farmhouse on the mountainside
As soon as you left,
the sun came by and it smiled on me
And somebody said, you met someone
And he chopped down your cherry tree
So
Annalie, oh
Annalie, what can I do for you?
Annalie,
Annalie, I cannot tell myself to
We used to do, cause it's all brand new
Oh,
Annalie
Now once upon a time,
you swore you was mine
And I loved you so
So we went to see
Sam, and he sold us some land
And we both made it grow
But something got a hold of you
And took you to town every
Tuesday night
And when I come to look for you
Well, I see old
Jim holding you tight
So,
Annalie, what can I do for you?
Ooh,
Annalie
Emily, I cannot tell us nothing to do
Like we used to do,
cause it's all brand new
Oh,
Emily, oh darling
My time is growing long
And pretty soon the baby's due
And I love this girl so strong
I ain't gonna leave her, no
I ain't gonna grieve her, hey
Not for you, not for you and
me
There used to be a time I
could look in your eyes
And trust inside your name
For time to turn themselves around, no
And it ain't no use in me
playing your games
Oh,
Annalie
What can I do for you?
Ooh,
Annalie
I cannot tell myself what
to or used to do
Cause it's all brand new
I really got to say it to you,
Annalie
Oh, what can I do for you?
