«Annie Laurie» is an old Scottish song based on poem by William Douglas (1672?-1748) of Dumfries and Galloway. The words were modified and the tune was added by Alicia Scott in 1834/5. The song is also known as Maxwelton Braes.

- Lyrics -

Maxwellton braes are bonnie

Where early fa's the dew

And it's there that Annie Laurie

Gied me her promise true

Gied me her promise true

Which n'er forgot shall be

And for bonnie Annie Laurie

I'd lay me down an' dee

Her brow is like the snawdrift

Her neck is like the swan

Her face it is the fairest

That e'er the sun shone on

That e'er the sun shone on

And dark blue is her e'e

And for bonnie Annie Laurie

I'd lay me down and dee

Like dew on the gowan lyin'

Is the fa' of her fairy feet

And like winds in summer sighin'

Her voice is low and sweet

Her voice is low and sweet

And she's a' the world tae me

And for bonnie Annie Laurie

I'd lay me down and dee

And for bonnie Annie Laurie

I'd lay me down and dee
