Don of Poteen Tune Req: Gentle Annie (Stephen Foster) (32) Lyr Add: GENTLE ANNIE (Stephen Foster) 26 May 97


Here are the lyrics from Jane, by the way; the notation to the tune was penned for her in '94 by Eugene O'Donnell at Augusta!

CHORUS: Shall I nevermore behold thee,
Never hear your loving voice again,
But when the springtime comes, gentle Annie,
And the wild flowers are scattered o'er the glen?

My heart grows sad as I wander
Near the silent spot where thou art laid,
And my heart bows down as I ponder
By the streams and the meadows where we played.

(CHORUS)

We had roamed and loved 'mid the flowers
When your rosy cheeks were in their bloom.
Now I sit alone 'mid the bowers
While I grieve in silence o'er your tomb.

(CHORUS)
