Ramblin' Jack Elliott - Willy Moore lyrics

Willie Moore was a young, he was scarce twenty-one He courted a maiden fair Her eyes were like two diamonds bright And raven black was her hair Raven black was her hair I loved Willie Moore, she told herself Far better than I've loved my life For I'd much rather die, than to weep and cry That I never can be his wife Never can be his wife That very same night sweet Annie disappeared They searched the country round Till at length in a brook by his father's house The body of Annie was found Body of Annie was found Willie Moore scarcely spoke that any one knew Till at length from his friends did part When last heard of him he was in Montreal Where he died of a broken heart Died of a broken heart
