Oh Annan Waters wondrous deep
And my love Anne is wondrous bonny
I'm loathe that she should wet her feet
Because I love her best of any
Go saddle for me the bonny gray mare
Go saddle her and make her ready
For I must cross the stream tonight
Or nevermore I'll see my lady

He's ridden over field and fen
O'er moor and moss and many's the mire
But the spurs of steel were sore to bite
Sparks from the mare's hooves flew like fire
Oh the mare flew over moor and moss
And when she reached the Annan Waters
She couldn't have ridden a furlong more
Had a thousand whips been laid upon her

Oh woe betide you, Annan Waters
By night you are a gloomy river
And over you I'll build a bridge
That you no more true love can sever

Oh boatman, put off your boat
Put off your boat for gold and money
For I must cross the stream tonight
Or nevermore I'll see my honey
Oh the sides are steep, the waters deep
From bank to bank the water's pouring
And the bonny gray mare she sweats for fear
For she hears the water-kelpie roaring

And he has tried to swim the stream
And he's swum on both strong and steady
But the river was deep and strength did fail
And nevermore he'll see his lady
Oh woe betide the willow wand
And woe betide the brush and briar
For they broke beneath my true love's hand
When strength did fail and limbs did tire

And woe betide you, Annan Waters
By night you are a gloomy river
And over you I'll build a bridge
That you no more true love can sever
