The Last Time I Saw Annie Lyrics by David Mallett

Inches and Miles

0

[Verse 1]
Well, they say that Annie's married
And livin' on the mainland
And workin' as a waitress
While her husband runs a crane
[Chorus]
But the last time I saw Annie
We were supposed to meet in Calais
Back in 1967
But my Annie never came
[Verse 2]
Now, some people are farmers
And others farm the oceans
And some men own the factories
Just clutter up the towns
[Verse 3]
And some people are good folks
And others they're just outlaws
But Annie was an angel
And me, I hang around
[Harmonica Solo]
[Verse 4]
Now, the old man at the station
Say's he's got a pint of whisky
And he keeps it mighty handy
And forgets the things he's told
[Verse 5]
And I'm headin' out for nowhere
For ten days dodgin' memories
And ten nights in a barroom
And I know it's gettin' cold
[Bridge]
Now, I know that I'll forget her
'Cause I try not to remember
But I've always been a dreamer
Dreamin' dreams of long ago
[Chorus]
But the last time I saw Annie
We were supposed to meet in Calais
When we both were young and hungry
But my Annie never showed
[Harmonica Solo]
[Verse 5]
Now, the road does not run smooth
It runs in gentle desperation
There are memories of the kindness
That we find along the way
[Verse 6]
And they say that Annie's married
And she saves for her vacation
It's a solid situation
And it passes time away
[Chorus]
But the last time I saw Annie
We were supposed to meet in Calais
Back in 1967
But my Annie never came
