& Lady John Douglas Scott
Key: A
4*-4-3 -3 -7 7* 7* -6*
Max-wel-ton's braes are bon-nie
-6* 6 5* 5* -4-3 -4
Where ear-ly fa's the dew
4* -4 -3 -3 -7 7* 7* -6*
And it’s there that An-nie Lau-rie
-6* 6 5* -4 -3 -3
Gave me her prom-ise true
6 -7 -7 -8 -8 8*
Gave me her prom-ise true
6 -7 -7 -8 -8 8*
Which ne'er for-got will be
8* -8 -7 7* -6*-7-6* 6 5*
And for bon-nie An- nie Lau-rie
5*-4-3-75* -4 -3 -3
I'd lay me doon and die
Her brow is like the snowdrift
Her throat 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 e'e
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me doon and dee.
Like dew on th'gowan lying
Is th' fa' o' her fairy feet
And like the winds in summer sighing
Her voice is low and sweet.
Her voice is low and sweet
And she's a' the world to me
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me doon and dee.
