Annachie Gordon Lyrics by Nic Jones

The Noah’s Ark Trap

0

[Verse 1]
Buchan, it's bonny, oh and there lives my love
My heart it lies on him, it will not remove
It will not remove for all that I have done
Oh, never will I forget my love Annachie
For Annachie Gordon, oh he's bonny and he's braw
He'd entice any woman that ever him saw
He'd entice any woman and so he has done me
Oh, never will I forget my love Annachie
[Verse 2]
Down came her father, and he's standing on the floor
Saying, "Jeanie, you're trying the tricks of a whore
You care nothing for a man that cares so very much for thee
You must marry with Lord Saltoun and leave young Annachie
For Annachie Gordon, he's only but a man
Although he may be pretty, ah, but where are all his lands?
Saltoun's lands are broad and his towers they stand high
You must marry with Lord Saltoun and forget young Annachie"
[Verse 3]
"With Annachie Gordon, oh I'd beg for my bread
Before that I'd marry Saltoun with gold to my head
With gold to my head and with gowns fringed to the knee
Oh, I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie
And you that are my parents, oh, to church you may me bring
Ah, but unto Lord Saltoun, oh, I'll never bear a son
Oh, a son or a daughter, oh, I'll never bow my knee
Oh, I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie"
[Verse 4]
When Jeanie was married and from church she was brought home
And she and her maidens so merry should have been
When she and her maidens so merry should have been
Oh, she's gone to a chamber, she's crying all alone
[Verse 5]
"Come to bed now Jeanie, oh my honey and my sweet
For to style you my mistress it would not be meet"
"Oh it's mistress or Jeanie, it's all the same to me
For it's in your bed Lord Saltoun, I never shall be"
And up and spoke her father and he's spoken with renown
"All you who are her maidens, won't you loosen off her gown?"
But she fell down in a swoon, oh, so low down by their knees
Saying, "Look on, for I'm dying for my love Annachie"
[Verse 6]
The day that Jeanie married was the day that Jeanie died
That's the day that young Annachie come rolling from the tide
And down came her maidens and they're wringing of their hands
Saying, "Woe to you, Annachie, for staying from the sands
So long from the land and so long upon the flood
Oh, they've married your Jeanie and now she is dead"
[Verse 7]
"All you that are her maidens, won't you take me by the hand?
And won't you lead me to the chamber that my love lies in?"
And he's kissed her cold lips until his heart turned to stone
And he's died in the chamber where his true love lay in
