_ A _ story _ _
_ _ [A] _ I'll tell [D] of a woman they call [G] _ Annalee. _
_ She _ had a fine son and [Am] she raised [D] him up well, [Bm] And a daughter [G] as lovely [D] as she.
_ _ _ I'll [A] return to you, dear, [D] in the dimming of day, [G] As the sparrow returns to [D] her nest.
_ _ _ I'll return to you, dreaming with each [E] _ _
lullaby, Hold [Bm] your sweet weary [G] head to my [D] _ breast. _ _
She'd sang to her darlings a sweet [E] _ lullaby, [Bm] As the cool evening [G] shadows grow _ long.
[D] _ _
_ Angels and _ nightingales [E] gather _ in night, [Bm] Just to hear Mother [G] _ [D] Annalee's _ song.
_ [Am] I'll return to you, dear, [D] in the dimming of day, [Bm] As the sparrow [G] returns to her [D] _
nest.
_ _ I'll return to you, dreaming with each _ _ lullaby, Hold [G] your sweet weary head to [D] my _ breast. _ _ _ _ _

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Early one morning she [E] rode into _ town, To [F#m] tend to her [G] dear sister [D] there. _ _ _
She kissed her two babies on cheek and on brow, [Bm] And left them with [G] nary a [D] care. _ _
_ The wind it did rise and [E] the rain it did [Bm] fall, The river a _ [G] _ [D] shadowy way. _
_ _ _ _ _ Annalee never heard _ danger's dark call, [Bm] And was swept to her _ watery [E]
grave.
_ _ _ [A] I'll return to you, dear, in the [D] dimming of [G] day, As the sparrow _ returns to [D] her _ nest.
_ I'll return to you, dreaming [E] with each _
[D] _ lullaby, Hold [Bm] your sweet weary head to my [E] breast.
