[Verse 1]
       A      D    A             D               A
On the island of Jamaica quite a long long time ago
   A    D        A                B7            E
At Rose Hall plantation where the ocean breezes blow
        A          D     A           D               A
Lived a girl named Annie Palmer, the mistress of the place
         A         E        A       D     A        E       A
And the slaves all lived in fear to see a frown on Annie's face


[Chorus]
D                    A              D              A
Where's your husband Annie, where's number two and three
          D                  A            B7            E
Are they sleeping 'neath the palms beside the Caribbean sea
   D                 A           D                A
At night I hear you riding and I hear your lovers call
       A        E         A         D         A              E    A
And I still can feel your presence 'round the great house at Rose Hall

[Verse 2]
         A          D    A             D                   A
Well, if you should ever go to see the great house at Rose Hall
          A       D          A               B7               E
There's expensive chairs and china and great paintings on the wall
        A        D       A                    D                A
They'll show you Annie's sitting room and the whipping post outside
    A          E       A       D          A       E        A
But they won't let you see the room where Annie's husbands died


[Chorus]
D                    A              D              A
Where's your husband Annie, where's number two and three
          D                  A            B7            E
Are they sleeping 'neath the palms beside the Caribbean sea
   D                 A           D                A
At night I hear you riding and I hear your lovers call
       A        E         A         D         A              E    A
And I still can feel your presence 'round the great house at Rose Hall
