Song - «Annie Laurie» is an old Scottish song based on poem by William Douglas (1672?-1748) of Dumfries and Galloway. The words were modified and the tune was added by Alicia Scott in 1834/5. The song is also known as Maxwelton Braes. Lyrics - Maxwellton braes are bonnie Where early fa's the dew And it's there that Annie Laurie Gied me her promise true Gied me her promise true Which n'er forgot shall be And for bonnie Annie Laurie I'd lay me down an' dee Her brow is like the snawdrift Her neck is like the swan Her face it is the fairest That e'er the sun shone on That e'er the sun shone on And dark blue is her e'e And for bonnie Annie Laurie I'd lay me down and dee Like dew on the gowan lyin' Is the fa' of her fairy feet And like winds in summer sighin' Her voice is low and sweet Her voice is low and sweet And she's a' the world tae me And for bonnie Annie Laurie I'd lay me down and dee And for bonnie Annie Laurie I'd lay me down and dee
