Anna Lee

D                       A     
Listen now children a story I'll 
    D
tell
       G                     D
Of a woman they called Anna Lee
D                            A   
She had a fine son and she raised
         D
 him up well
        G                   D
And a daughter as lovely as she


[Chorus]

        A                       
I'll return to you, dear, in the 
    D
dimming of day
          G                    D
As the sparrow returns to her nest
D                              
I'll return to you dreaming with 
   G        D
each lullaby
            G                   
Hold your sweet weary head to my 
   D
breast


[Verse]

D                            A   
She sang to her darlings a sweet 
     D
lullaby

        G                       
As the cool evening shadows grow 
  D
long
D                         A      
Angels and nightingales gather at
   D
 night
         G                      D
Just to hear mother Anna Lee's song


[Chorus]

        A                       
I'll return to you, dear, in the 
    D
dimming of day
          G                    D
As the sparrow returns to her nest
D                              
I'll return to you dreaming with 
   G        D
each lullaby
            G                   
Hold your sweet weary head to my 
   D
breast


[Verse]

D                           A    
I heard it one morning she rode 
     D
into town
    G                        D
To tend to her dear sister there
D                              A 
She kissed her two babies on 
          D
cheek and on brow
     G                      D
And left them with nary a care


D                             A  
The wind it did rise and the rain
         D
 it did fall
     G                 D
The river, a shadowy wave
D                       A        
Anna Lee never heard danger's 
   D
dark call
          G                   D
And was swept to her watery grave


[Chorus]

        A                       
I'll return to you, dear, in the 
    D
dimming of day
          G                    D
As the sparrow returns to her nest
D                              
I'll return to you dreaming with 
   G        D
each lullaby
            G                   
Hold your sweet weary head to my 
   D
breast
