C (x32010@1)                               GIm (320003@1)skippin stones at the edge of the dock
    Am (x02210@1)                             FA (133211@1)fog came rollin in, quiet like a hawk

     Am (x02210@1)                              C (x32010@1)   FIt (133211@1)felt like I was walking on water

Then the doctors daughter came and dove right in
Lord almighty, shes in nothing but skin
I could turn my head but she may never come again
Shes filling the sky with her laughter

Annalee, Annalee
Did the good Lord send you down to deliver me
Come lay your head in a bed of leaves
I am here, I am yours for the taking

Well around about midnight on a riverboat ride
Im a mandolin jukebox and Annies at my side
One bottle empty, one waiting like a bride
Shes dancing like light on the water

Weve got six weeks till college, six weeks and then were gone
Oh, life is like a river and the rivers rolling on
So come on, Annie, you taste like brandy
Will you kiss me awake come morning?
