4*-4-3   -3    -7    7*  7* -6*
Max-wel-ton's braes are bon-nie 
-6*    6  5*  5* -4-3 -4
Where ear-ly fa's the dew 
 4*  -4   -3    -3  -7  7*  7* -6*
And it’s there that An-nie Lau-rie 
-6*  6   5*  -4  -3   -3
Gave me her prom-ise true

Gave me her prom-ise true 
  6    -7   -7  -8   -8  8*
Which ne'er for-got will be 
 8* -8  -7   7* -6*-7-6* 6   5*
And for bon-nie An- nie Lau-rie 
5*-4-3-75*  -4  -3  -3 
I'd lay me doon and die 

Her brow is like the snowdrift 
Her throat 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 doon and dee. 

Like dew on th'gowan lying 
Is th' fa' o' her fairy feet 
And like the winds in summer sighing 
Her voice is low and sweet. 
Her voice is low and sweet 
And she's a' the world to me 
And for bonnie Annie Laurie 
I'd lay me doon and dee.
