Willie Moore - Sandy Denny/Alex Campbell
Courted a maiden fair
Her eyes were like two diamonds bright
Raven black was her hair hmmm
He courted her both day and night
To marry him she did agree
But when they went to get her parents' consent
They said This could never be hummm
I love Willie Moore sweet Annie replied
Beeter than I love my life
And I would rather die than weep here and cry
Never to be his wife hummm
That very same night sweet Annie disappeared
They searched the country' round
In a little stream by the cabin door
The body of sweet Annie was found hummm
Sweet Annie's parents they live all alone
One mourns the other cries
In a little green mound in front of their door
The body of sweet Annie now lies
Willie Moore scarce spoke that anyone knew
Soon from his friends did part
And the last heard of him was he's on Montreal
Where he died of a broken heart
Willie Moore was a king his age twenty-one
Courted a maiden fair
Her eyes were like two diamonds bright
Raven black was her hair hmmm
