• Anachie Gordon

(Excise Bar, Dublin)

Harking is bonny and there lives my love
My heart lies on him and will not remove
It will not remove, oh, for all that I have done
Oh I never will forget my love Annachie
For Annachie Gordon he's bonny and he's rough
He'd entice any woman that e'er he saw
He'd entice any woman and so he has done me
And I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie

Down came her father and he's standing by the door
Saying Jeannie you are trying the tricks of a whore
You care nothing for a man who cares so much for thee
You must marry Lord Sultan and leave Annachie
For Annachie Gordon is barely but a man
Oh I know he may be pretty but where are his lands
The Sultan's lands are broad and his towers they run high
You must marry Lord Sultan and leave Annachie.

With Annachie Gordon I beg for my bread
But before I marry Sultan his gold to my head
With gold to my head and straight down to my knees
And I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie
And you who are my parents to church you may me bring
But unto Lord Sultan I'll never bear a son
To a son or a daughter I'll never bow my knee
And I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie.

Come to bed my Jeannie my honey and my sweet
For to stile you my mistress it would be so sweet
Be it mistress or Jeanne it's all the same to me
But in your bed Lord Sultan I never will lie
And down came her father and he's spoken with reknown
Saying you who are her maidens
Go loosen up her gowns
But she fell down to the floor
So close by his knee saying
Father look I'm dying for my love Annachie.

The day that Jeanne married was the day that Jeannie died
And the day that young Annachie came home on the tide
And down came her maidens all wringing of their hands
Saying lord it's been so long, you've been so long on the sands
So long on the sands, so long upon the flood
They have married your Jeannie and now she lies dead.

You that are her maidens come take me by the hand
And take me to the chamber where my love she lies in
And he kissed her cold lips till his heart it turned to stone
And he died in the chamber where his love she lies in.
