Verse 1 (use verse tab)
Annan water, you loom so deep and wide
I'll cross over if you would stem the tide
Build a boat that I might thwart the other side
To reach the farther shore where my true love lies in wait for me
In wait for me, in wait for me, in wait for me
Verse 2: (use verse tab)
Oh, gray river, your waters ramble while
The horses shiver and bide against the bridal
But I will cross if mine own horse is pulled from me
Though my mother cries that if I try I sure will drown it be
Will drown it be, will drown it be, will drown it be
Chorus Chords:
D Dm A F#m
But if you call and let me pass
D E A A7
You may render me a wreck when I come back
D Dm A A7
So calm your waves and slow the churn
D E [start verse tabs here]
And you may have my precious bones on my return
Verse 3: (use verse tab)
Annan water, oh hear my true love's call
Hear her holler above your water's pall
God, that I could that my two arms could give me way
And I would cross your breath and rest my breast about her amber ring
Her amber ring, her amber ring
Chorus Chords:
But if you call and let me pass
You may render me a wreck when I come back
So calm your waves and slow the churn
and you may have my precious bones
Dm
On my, on my return
I'm thinking the bass notes go
