Maxwellton braes are bonnie
Where early fa's the dew
And it's there that Annie Laurie
Gave me her promise true
Gave me her promise true
Which ne'er forgot will be
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me doon and dee

2.

Her brow is like the snowdrift
Her neck it's 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

3.

Like dew on the gowan lying
Is the fa' of her fairy feet
And like wind in summer sighing
Her voice is low and sweet
Her voice is low and sweet
She's a' the world to me
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me doon and dee
