Annachie Gordon - John Wesley Harding



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



Down came her father, standing on the floor

Saying Jeanie you're trying the tricks of a whore

You care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee

You must marry with Lord Salton and leave Young Annachie

For Annachie Gordon he's only but a man

Although he may be pretty but where are all his lands

Salton's lands are broad and his towers they stand high

You must marry with Lord Salton and forget Young Annachie



With Annachie Gordon oh I'd beg for my bread

Before that I'd marry Salton 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 Salton Oh I'll never bear a son

A son or a daughter oh I'll never bow my knee

Oh, I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie



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 and she's crying all alone



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 Salton I never shall be

And up and spoke her father and he's spoken with renown

All you who
