Annies Gonna Sing Her Song - Tom Paxton

Another song I've been singing for umpty trump years, Not sure I've even got the title right, I normally just call it "Annie's Song" but I'm pretty sure that aint right and would only lead to confusion.

Please excuse the glitch in the middle, no-one to blame for that but me.

I remember playing this one when I was in secondary school, and just doing a quick calculation, I estimate that was around 45 years ago.

What's your hurry? Just watch this
This is one you mustn't miss
Annie's going to sing her song
Called, "Take me back again"

A drink for me, a drink for you
You're going to need a drink or two
Annie's going to sing her song
Called, "Take me back again"

You never heard it sung before?
I hear it twice a month or more
Complete with tears and sheepish grins
It only lacks the violins

The tune goes flat from time to time
The lyric sometimes fails to rhyme
But Annie's going to sing her song
Called, "Take me back again"

It sometimes lasts the whole night long
Depends on how long she's been gone
I sit and look as hard as nails
She knows the damn thing never fails

Take the bottle, fill your cup
Don't miss the part where I fold up
Annie's going to sing her song
Called, "Take me back again"

It isn't Annie's only tune
The other I'll be hearing soon
Next week, tomorrow, or today
She sings it when she goes away

Take the bottle, fill your cup
Don't miss the part where I fold up
Annie's going to sing her song
Called, "Take me back again"
Come on Annie, sing your song
Called, "Take me back again"
