Annie's Promise - Capo 5 in C
Here's a song of Anne Cleary and William O'Neil
A song of the ocean and the power it yields
A song of young lovers of love lost to the sea
A song of the promise young Annie believed
Now young Annie Cleary lived down on the strand
And many a sailor had asked for her hand
But Annie's mother denied them, saying Annie please see
The love of a sailor is his love of the sea
Young William O'Neil was a sailor by trade
And one fine morning to the strand he came
And he met Annie Cleary as she strolled on the pier
He knew he must have her, so he promised her there
Chorus
If you marry me Annie, if you'll be my bride
If you'll marry me Annie, I'll stay by your side
I promise I'll love you, I'll stay on the strand
I promise you Annie, if you'll give me your hand
If I married you William, if I gave you my hand
If I married you William denying mothers command
Would you swear to me William, this promise you'll keep
That I'll never lose you to that Briny sea
And so a wedding, oh a wedding so grand
And so a wedding, denying mothers command
As the mother cries Annie, I pray the cruel cruel sea
Won't take your William, like your father from me
But a year had since Annie's promise was made
Half as long since William has been lost to his trade
And the mother holds Annie as young Annie she weeps
For her broken promise, ler love lost to the sea
If you marry me Annie, if you'll be my bride
If you'll marry me Annie, I'll stay by your side
I promise I'll love you, I'll stay on the strand
I promise you Annie, if you'll give me your hand
Young Annie O'Neil, lives down on the strand
She has a young daughter, she takes by her hand
Annie shows her the ocean, warns of the power it holds
She warns her of sailors and of their promises bold
If you marry me Annie, if you'll be my bride
If you'll marry me Annie, I'll stay by your side
I promise I'll love you, I'll stay on the strand
I promise you Annie, if you'll give me your hand
