Annabel

I met a lad from Donegal Heave away, haul away I got pregnant by the fall 'N hauled away to Georgia I got jailed for all my sins Heave away, haul away Had me branded on my skin N'hauled away to Georgia My name was Annabel I say My name was Annabel But now I'm resting in the ground In a grave in Georgia I've been drinking far too much Heave away, haul away Banker's got me in his clutch 'N hauled away to Georgia Whisky's not my only vice Heave away, haul away Lost my farm on card and dice Got hauled away to Georgia My name was Annabel I say My name was Annabel But now I'm resting in the ground In a grave in Georgia Her name was Annabel I say Her name was Annabel But now she's resting in the ground In a grave in Georgia Brick for brick and stone for stone Heave away, haul away Building George a brand new home So haul away to Georgia Picking cotton for his vest Heave away, haul away When indebted there's no rest Haul away to Georgia My name was Annabel I say My name was Annabel But now I'm resting in the ground In a grave in Georgia Her name was Annabel I say Her name was Annabel But now she's resting in the ground In a grave in Georgia Ambushed by the Yemassee Heave away, haul away Pinned an arrow to my knee When hauled away to Georgia Doctor came into my tent Heave away, haul away Took me leg an'off he went Oh, haul away to Georgia My name was Annabel I say My name was Annabel But now I'm resting in the ground In a grave in Georgia Her name was Annabel I say Her name was Annabel But now she's resting in the ground In a grave in Georgia Fever's gotten to my head Heave away, haul away The Devil's sleeping in my bed Oh, haul away to Georgia The be no drinking when I'm gone Heave away, haul away Oglethorpe he snatched our rum Oh, haul away to Georgia My name was Annabel I say Her name was Annabel But now I'm resting in the ground In a grave in Georgia Her name was Annabel I say Her name was Annabel But now I'm resting in the ground In a grave in Georgia
