Willie Moore - Burnett & Rutherford
Written by：Traditional
Willie Moore was a king his age twenty one
He courted a damsel fair
O her eyes was as bright
As the diamonds everynight
And wavy black was her hair
He courted her both night and day
'Til to marry they did agree
But when he came to get her parents consent
They said it could never be
She threw herself in Willie Moore's arms
As oftime had done before
But little did he think when they parted that night
Sweet Anna he would see no more
It was about the tenth of May
The time I remember well
That very same night her body disappeared
In a way no tongue could tell
Sweet Annie was loved both far and near
Had friends most all around
And in a little brook before the cottage door
The body of sweet Anna was found
She was taken by her weeping friends
And carried to her parent's room
And there she was dressed
In a gown of snowy white
And laid her in a lonely tomb
Her parents now are left all alone
One mourns while the other weeps
And in a grassy mound before the cottage door
The body of sweet Anna still sleeps
This song was composed in the flowery West
By a man you May never have seen
O I'll tell you his name but it is not
In full
His initials are J R D
