Instrumental version
Maxwellton braes are bonnie
Where early fa's the dew
An' it's there that annie laurie
Gi'ed me her promise true
Gi'ed me her promise true
Which ne'er forgot will be
And for bonnie annie laurie
I'd lay me doon an' dee
Her brow is like the snowdrift
Her neck is like the swan
Her face it is the fairest
That e'er the sun shone on
That e'er the sun shone on
And dark blue is her eye
But for bonnie annie laurie
I'd lay me doon an' dee
Like dew on the gowan lying
Is the fa' o' her fairy feet;
An' like winds in a summer sighin'
Her voice is low an' sweet
Her voice is low an sweet
An' she's a' the world to me
And for bonnie annie laurie
I'd lay me doon and dee
