Intro:

G A  D   Bm   A  G

D                   Em                 D 
Buchan is bonny and there lives my love
      G                D       Bm    A   G
My heart it lies on him and will   not remove
   D          A        Bm        G      D
It will not remove for all that I have done
     G             D       Bm    A       G
Oh I never will forget me love, Annachie
       D     A           Bm       G         D
For Annachie Gordon, he's bonny and he's braw
     G          D          Bm   A  G
He'd entice any woman that ever he saw
D               A         Bm     G        D
He'd entice any woman, and so he has done me
G                 D       Bm    A       G
And I never will forget my love, Annachie
D                           Em              D 
Down came her father, he's standing at the door
G                           D          Bm      A     G
Saying, "Jeannie, you are trying the tricks of a whore
D          A                           Bm        G      D
You care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee
G             D             Bm    A       G
You must marry Lord Salton and leave Annachie"
D              A          Bm       G    D
"For Annachie Gordon, he's barely but a man
G              D                 Bm    A      G
Although he may be pretty, but where are his lands?
D                           A              Bm     G           D
For Lord Salton's lands are broad and his towers, they run high
G             D             Bm    A       G
You must marry Lord Salton and leave Annachie"
D                      Em           D
With Annachie Gordon I beg for my bread
G                D         Bm      A     G
Before I marry Salton, his gold to my head
D              A              Bm       G     D
His gold to my head and gowns hemmed to my knee
G             D             Bm    A       G
And I'll die if I don't get my love, Annachie
D                   A           Bm          G     D
nd you, who are my parents, to church you may me bring
G              D          Bm     A     G
But unto Lord Salton I'll never bear a son
D             A             Bm     G     D
To a son or a daughter I'll never bow my knee
G         D                  Bm      A     G
And I'll die if I don't get my love, Annachie
 D                        Em                 D
Jeannie was married, from church was brought home
G                D                Bm     A     G
When she and her maidens so merry should have been
D              A                  Bm     G     D
When she and her maidens so merry should have been
G             D             Bm    A       G
She goes into her chamber and cries all alone
D                             Em                 D
"Come to my bed, my Jeannie, my honey and my sweet
 G                D              Bm    A   G
To stile you my mistress, it would be so sweet"
D          A                     Bm        G      D
"Be it mistress or Jeannie, it's all the same to me
G             D                 Bm    A       G
But in your bed, Lord Sultan, I never will lie"
D              A               Bm       G      D
And down came her father, he's spoken with renown
         G                D            A            D
Saying, "You, who are her maidens, go loosen up her gowns"
D              A                    Bm       G         D
And she fell down to the floor and straight down to her knee
G             D                      Bm    A       G
Saying, "Father, look I'm dying, for my love Annachie"
D                                    Em                 D
The day that Jeannie married was the day that Jeannie died
 G                D                  Bm    A        G
And the day that young Annachie came home on the tide
D              A              Bm       G         D
And down came her maidens all wringing of their hands
G             D                                Bm    A       G
Saying. "Oh, it's been so long, you've been so long on the sands
D              A         Bm     G    D
So long on the sands, so long on the flood
G             D                    Bm    A       G
They have married your Jeannie and now she lies dead"
D                               Em               D
"You, who are her maidens, come take me by the hand
G                D                       Bm    A   G
And lead me to the chamber where my love, she lies in"
D              A                       Bm       G         D
And he kissed her cold lips till his heart it turned to stone
G                D                      Bm       A         G
And he died in the chamber that his love, she lies in
