Buchan is bonnie 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 Anachie For Anachie Gordon he's bonnie and he's rough He'd entice any woman and so he's done me He'd entice any woman and so he has done me Oh I never will forget my love Anachie Down came her father and he standing by the door Saying, ""Jeannie, you're trying the tricks of a whore You care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee You must marry Lord Sulton and leave Anachie For Anachie Gordon, he's barely but a man Although he may be pretty but where are his lands? Oh the Sulton's lands are broad and his towers they are high You must marry Lord Sulton and leave Anachie."" ""With Anachie Gordon I'd beg for my bread And before I marry Sulton it's gold to my head With gold to my head and gowns fringed to the knee And I'll die if I don't get my love Anachie And you who are my parents to church you may me bring But unto Lord Sulton, 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 Anachie."" Jeannie was married and from church she was brought home And when she and her maidens so merry should have been When she and her maidens so merry should have been She went into her chamber, she cried all alone ""Come to bed now Jeannie, me honey and my sweet For to style you my mistress it would be so sweet."" ""Be it mistress or Jeannie it's all the same to me But in your bed, Lord Sulton, I never will lie."" And down came her father and he's spoken with renown, Saying, ""You who are her maidens go loosen up her gowns."" And she fell down to the floor, so close down by his knee Saying, ""Father, look I'm dying for my love Anachie."" The day Jeannie married was the day Jeannie died And the day that young Anachie came home on the tide And down came her maidens all ringing of their hands Saying, ""Oh it's been so long, it's been so long on the sands Oh so long on the sands, so long on the flood They have married your Jeannie and now she lies dead."" ""You who are her maidens come take me by the hand And take me to the chamber that my love she lies in."" And he's kissed her cold lips and his heart has turned to stone And he's died in the chamber that his love she lies in
