Gentle Annie

Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Gentle Annie [Intro]                         [Verse 1] Thou wilt come no more gentle Annie   Like the flower who’s spirit did depart Who has come and gone like the many   Who have bloomed in the springtime of my heart       [Verse 2] Shall we never more behold thee Never hear thy laughing voice again    When the springtime comes gentle Annie And the wild flowers are scattered o’er the plains        [Verse 3] We did roam and love midst the bowers   When thy downy cheeks were in their bloom   Now I walk alone midst the flowers As they mingle their perfume o’er thy tomb [Verse 4] Shall we never more behold thee Never hear thy laughing voice again   When the springtime comes gentle Annie   And the wild flowers are scattered o’er the plains [Outro]
