Annie
Mt. Si Lyrics

I met Annie Ford out on the Great West road, soaking through and thumbing for a ride.
I encountered a desperate Annie Ford on the side of the Great West road, soaked and trying to hitchhike for a ride.

She sat there on her suitcase in her dancing dress. I would've been a fool to pass her by.
Annie Ford, seated on her suitcase in her elegant dancing attire, was too captivating for me to ignore.

And as we sped across the night, We told our stories by the light Of the stars that lead us home Each time we strayed.
Navigating through the darkness of the night, we illuminated our path with storytelling, guided by the stars as we occasionally drifted off-course.

Me and Annie talked till dawn, when we reached her old man's farm. And I said so long; guess I'll be on my way.
Annie and I conversed until daybreak, arriving at her father's farm, where I bid her farewell and resumed my travels.

I started meeting Annie by the old sawmill, wasting time and drinking in the day. Courting her was easy with her smile like that. Loving her was easy in the night.
I began rendezvousing with Annie at the ancient sawmill, whiling away our days, enjoying the daylight hours, and relishing her infectious smile, while embracing the nights with ease, enthralled in a fervid romance.

Well, me and Annie set a date, and had a wedding in the spring. Man, you should've heard that old church choir sing.
Annie and I committed to each other, scheduling a spring marriage ceremony, where the church choir's melodic performance left us in awe.

It didn't take us very long, 'till the baby came along. Well we named him Tom and settled into life.
Shortly thereafter, our bundle of joy, Tom, was born, and we became accustomed to our new life as a family.

But at night death came around, and Annie left without a sound.
However, one night, death beckoned Annie silently, stealing her away from us.

But the trouble with this life, is it doesn't last so long And your love can be divided overnight.
Unfortunately, life is tragically brief, and love can be taken away in an instant, leaving remnants of the fond memories shared.

Now it's only me and Tom Now our wife and mother's gone Well I told the Lord 'I just don't think it's right'.
With only Tom and me remaining, after losing our beloved wife and mother, I expressed my disapproval to the Lord, as the unjust departure was too much to bear.
