Annabelle

6m 4
We leased 20 acres and one Ginny mule
3 6m
From the Alabama Trust
4
Half of the cotton third of the corn
3 6m
Get a handful of dust

4 1
We can not have all things to please us
5 6m
No matter how we try
4 1
Until we’ve all gone to Jesus
5 6m
We can only wonder why

I had a daughter called her Annabelle
She’s the apple of my eye
Tried to give her something like I never had
Didn’t want to ever hear her cry

And when I’m dead and buried I’ll take a hard life of tears
From every day I’ve ever known
Anna’s in the churchyard she got no life at all
She only got these words on a stone
