From: John.Breslin@ee.ed.ac.uk

I have been told that Tom Paxton wrote a piece called "Annie's Song", it goes like this:

"What's your hurry, just watch this, this is one you mustn't miss, Annie's going to sing her song, 'Coll take me back again' "

Does anyone have all the lyrics to this? It does not appear to be in any of the web sites.

cheers

I have it on tape, but I don't have any hard-copy lyrics. Let me know if you still haven't gotten it, and I'll copy it down for you. It's a really nice song.

Do you know the tune?

Hi- If you send someone the lyrics, then that person has them. If you also send them here, then everyone can have them!

ANNIE'S GOING TO SING HER SONG
(Tom Paxton)
As recorded by Tom Paxton on "Tom Paxton 6" (1970)

What's your hurry? Just watch this.
This is one you mustn't miss.
Annie's going to sing her song
Called "Take Me Back Again."

A drink for me, a drink for you.
You’re going to need a drink or two.
Annie's going to sing her song
Called "Take Me Back Again."

You never heard it sung before.
I hear it twice a month or more,
Complete with tears and sheepish grins.
It only lacks the violins.

The tune goes flat from time to time.
The lyrics sometimes fail to rhyme,
But Annie's going to sing her song
Called "Take Me Back Again."

CHO: La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
Annie's going to sing her song
Called "Take Me Back Again."

It sometimes lasts the whole night long,
Depends on how long she's been gone.
I sit and look as hard as nails.
She knows the damn thing never fails.

Take the bottle. Fill your cup.
Don’t miss the part where I fold up.
Annie's going to sing her song
Called "Take Me Back Again." CHO.

It isn't Annie's only tune.
The other I'll be hearing soon,
Next week, tomorrow, or today.
She sings it when she goes away.

Take the bottle. Fill your cup.
Don’t miss the part where I fold up.
Annie's going to sing her song
Called "Take Me Back Again."

Come on, Annie. Sing your song
Called "Take Me Back Again."

Annie's Going To Sing Her Song -- Tom Paxton

What's your hurry? Just watch this. This is one you mustn't miss;
Annie's going to sing her song, called "Take Me Back Again."

A drink for me, a drink for you; you're going to need a drink or two;
Annie's going to sing her song, called "Take Me Back Again."

You never heard it sung before; I hear it twice a month or more,
Complete with tears and sheepish grins; it only lacks the violins.

The tune goes flat from time to time, the lyrics sometimes fail to rhyme,
But Annie's going to sing her song, called "Take Me Back Again."

    CHORUS
    La la la la la la la
    La la la la la la la
    Annie's going to sing her song,
    Called "Take Me Back Again."

It sometimes lasts the whole night long, depends on how long she's been gone.
I sit and look as hard as nails; she knows the damn thing never fails.

Take the bottle, fill your cup; don't miss the part where I fold up;
Annie's going to sing her song, called "Take Me Back Again."

    CHORUS

It isn't Annie's only tune; the other I'll be hearing soon.
Next week, tomorrow, or today; she sings it when she goes away.

Take the bottle, fill your cup; don't miss the part where I fold up;
Annie's going to sing her song, called "Take Me Back Again."

Come on, Annie, sing your song, called "Take Me Back Again."
