Annie, Heart Thief of the Sea

If you want to see my girl You better be ready, Imma show you the world On a beach and on the shore I'll tell you a story and it's all about a pearl Creamy white and crystal clear It glistened in the sun it had nothing to fear Many came from near and far There was nothing like the beauty that they saw I was sailing on the sea There was nothing as far as I could see When a vision of a girl Blinded my eyes, she's as pretty as a pearl Swam along with us awhile I was hooked, I was smitten by her smile When she traded me her heart I took it from her hand Why'd you take my heart, Annie? What'd I do? Why'd you take my heart, Annie? All you left me was a pearl As I looked into my palm I was swallowed by the vision that I saw In this pearl of perfect white I saw us together in a union of delight When I looked into her eyes I saw nothing but the mirror of the skies I dove deep into the cold I was ready to be Why'd you take my heart, Annie? What'd I do? Why'd you take my heart, Annie? All you left me was a pearl When they pulled me from the cold I wondered why I'd never felt so old For my hair had turned to white I'd long been dead and so had my wife She had died of a broken heart Why'd you take my heart, Annie? What'd I do? Why'd you take my heart, Annie? All you left me was a pearl Why'd you take my heart, Annie? What'd I do? Why'd you take my heart, Annie? All you left me was a pearl Why'd you take my heart, Annie? What'd I do? Why'd you take my heart, Annie? All you left me was a pearl Why'd you take my heart, Annie? What'd I do? Why'd you take my heart, Annie? All you left me was a pearl
