Annie Lisle - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
ANNIE LISLE 
Down where the waving willows 'Neath the sunbeams smile; Shadowed o'er the murm'ring waters, Dwelt sweet Annie Lisle; Pure as the forest lily, Never thought of guile, Had its home within the bosom Of loved Annie Lisle. 
Chorus. Wave willows, murmur water. Golden sunbeam smile-Earthly music cannot waken Lovely Annie Lisle. 
Sweet came the hallowed chiming Of the sabbath bell, Born on the morning breezes Down the woody dell; On a bed of anguish Lay dear Annie Lisle; Changed were the lovely features-Gone the happy smile.-Chorus. 
Toll bells of sabbath morning, I shall never more Hear your sweet and holy music On this earthly shore. Forms clad in heav'nly beauty Look on me and smile, Waiting for the longing spirit Of your Annie Lisle.-Chorus. 
Raise me in your arms, dear mother, Let me once more look On the green and waving, willows, And the flowing brook-Hark, those strains of angel music From the choir above; Dearest mother, I am going-Truly, " God is love."-Chorus.
