ANNABELLE LEE
(Jack Segal, based on a poem by Edgar Allan Poe)

Annabelle Lee, Annabelle Lee,

Oh the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of my beautiful Annabelle Lee.,
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes
Of my beautiful Annabelle Lee.

We're never apart, for I gave her my heart.
She gave her heart to me.
And I love with a love that is more than just love,
My adorable Annabelle Lee.

Yes, he gave his warm heart to sweet Annabelle Lee
For he loved her so dearly, you see,
To think of her charms have been here in my arms
To think she loves only me.

Heaven offers no more.
I've been there before,
In the arms of my Annabelle Lee,
Annabelle Lee.

[Recorded by Harry Belafonte, 1950.]
