ANNIE LEE is fair and sweet-
Fair and sweet to look upon;
But Annie's heart is all deceit,
Therefore Annie Lee, begone.

To conceive her smiles, conceive
Smiles the lily's self might own;
But a snare for me they'd weave:
Therefore Annie Lee, begone.

Sweeter than a golden bell
Sound her winning words, each one;-
From a fount of fraud they well;
Therefore Annie Lee, begone.

In those deep blue orbs, her eyes,
Pity's built herself a throne;
Pity! Guile in Pity's guise:
Therefore Annie Lee, begone.

Charming Annie Lee, begone!
Cunning Annie Lee, begone!
I'd not have thee for a world,
Tho' so fair to look upon.
