Willie Moore-Kate & Anna McGarrigle

[00:11.22]Willie Moore was a king his age twenty-one [00:15.78] [00:16.59]He courted a damsel fair [00:19.46] [00:21.95]O her eyes was as bright as the diamonds in the night [00:26.88]And wavy black was her hair. [00:29.56] [00:32.09]He courted her both night and day [00:35.83] [00:37.39]'Til to marry they did agree [00:40.39] [00:42.57]But when he ask her parents consent [00:46.13] [00:48.11]They said it could never be. [00:50.79] [00:52.91]She threw herself in Willie Moore's arms [00:57.17] [00:58.55]As oftime had done before [01:00.98] [01:03.41]But little did he think when they parted that night [01:09.97] [01:10.48]Sweet Anna he would see no more. [01:12.54] [01:34.15]It was about the tenth of May [01:38.08] [01:39.20]The time I remember well [01:42.13] [01:44.25]That very same night her body disappeared [01:48.31] [01:50.16]In a way no tongue could tell. [01:52.60] [01:54.67]Sweet Annie was loved both far and near [01:58.12] [01:59.92]Had friends most all around [02:02.87] [02:05.25]And in a little brook before the cottage door [02:09.31] [02:10.06]The body of sweet Anna was found. [02:13.36] [02:15.55]She was taken by her weeping friends [02:18.86] [02:20.59]And carried to her room [02:23.21] [02:25.61]And there she was dressed in a gown of snowy white [02:29.61] [02:30.30]And laid her in a lonely tomb. [02:32.73] [02:35.91]Her parents now are left all alone [02:40.35] [02:41.16]One mourns while the other one weeps [02:44.47] [02:46.28]And in a grassy mound before the cottage door [02:51.36] [02:52.18]The body of sweet Anna still sleeps. [02:54.56] [02:56.39]Willie Moore never spoke that anyone heard [03:00.90]And at length from his friends did part [03:03.31] [03:04.05]And the last heard from him he'd gone to Montreal [03:10.42] [03:10.98]Where he died of a broken heart.
