Annie Lyrics

There once a girl
Who lived by the fence,
She smiled watercolors.
And she sang and she lived.
Though happy she seemed,
She did not quite fit in.
In her world we created,
She saw nothing but sin.
She's run away.

Chorus
Oh, Annie, I will love you,
And won't you please, won't you come home today?
Oh, Annie, I will need you,
And won't you please, won't you come home to stay?
Oh, Annie's run away.

I heard you've been 'round,
Sleepin' all over town,
Trying to make ends meet,
They say you've nothing to eat. Well, Annie, I've been there
And I know what it's like.
See, we've all got our cross to bear;
Still, that don't make it right
To run away.

-Chorus-

[bridge]

Heaven hears Mom cryin',
Momma fears Dad's dyin',
All because their baby's run,
All alone,
Won't you come home?

Annie, won't you please?
Annie, won't you please?

Oh, Annie, I will love you,
Oh, Annie, I will need you,
Oh, Annie, I will love you.

Won't you come home?
