ANNIE Ronnie Lane/Kate Lambert/Eric Clapton Slim Chance Music, administered by MCS Music Ltd/RSO Music Corp
Old oaks stand tall, Annie, Seen the world grow small, Annie, But when they fall, Annie, where will we be?
Winter has come, Annie, No strength in the sun, Annie, And when it's gone, Annie, where shall we be?
When all the colours have faded, When old jack comes to call, Don't tell them "no". Tell them "maybe". Oh, Annie, may God bless us all. Oh, yeah, Annie, may God bless us all.
Hear the children call, Annie. Every leaf must fall, Annie. God bless us all, Annie, wherever we'll be, And God bless us all, Annie, wherever we'll be.
[Recorded by Ronnie Lane on "Live in Austin," Michael Weston King on "Live in Dinky Town" and "God Shaped Hole", The Bushwackers on "Bushfire" and "Flash Jack from Gundagai," and by Ian McLagan on "Spiritual Boy: An Appreciation of Ronnie Lane."]
