Sung by Bob Ferguson band

 

Lyrics - Lady Ann

Chorus: 
Oh Lady Ann, oh Lady Ann, 
Don't break my heart, don't let me down, 
For I am yours and you are mine, 
Oh Lady Ann, oh Lady Ann.

That lady fine, o’ high degree, 
She fell in love, with poor old me, 
Loved her so, I do declare, 
I loved the girl, with the golden hair

Chorus

I worked the land, her father owned, 
A little croft I called my own, 
Someday I hoped that I would share, 
The lonely nights with the golden hair

Chorus

When a walking, on fine days, 
I'd escort her, in her fathers pay, 
He trusted me, she was in my care, 
Never knew I loved the golden hair

Chorus

Far down the glen, where waters flow, 
To a secret place, where heather grows, 
We both lay down, for a moment there, 
They fell on me, those golden hairs.

Chorus

In time she grew to my delight, 
From both of us, a child of light, 
Her father’s fortune, to a laird was shared, 
To marry my love, with the golden hair.

Chorus

Until the day they were married there, 
I was confined in a dungeon bare, 
That night to her room, the laird repaired, 
But I’d run away with the golden hair.

Chorus
