The Tragedy of Annie Mae lyrics

She was told do not go

running down the stairs,

told that old dark well

is not a place to play.

Told it isn't safe to tease

the poison snakes.

Don't forget to pray the Lord

your soul to take.

Don't cry for the tragedy of Annie Mae,

high time for the frightening of Annie Mae.

Now they just find traces of

her everywhere,

at her eulogy the priest said

she's to blame.

Dirty little girls like her make

men insane and so Satan

must have taken her because

she would not obey

Don't cry for the tragedy of Annie Mae,

high time for the frightening of Annie Mae,

no time to rectify the end of Annie Mae.
