English text
1 Oh, sweet her smile, the bonnie smile,
So full of life and glee;
The brightest star that lights our glen,
Is pretty Annie Lee.
The blush of morn plays on her cheek,
With sunshine soft and fair;
No frown hath ever dimmed the bloom
That loves the circle there.
Oh, sweet her smile,…
2 I loved her once, I love her still,
She's all the world to me;
Her smiles now light our cottage home,
She's mine, sweet Annie Lee.
And should the gathering shades of time
Steal round us with decay,
I'llheed them not, if they but leave
One smile of hers to play.
Oh, sweet her smile,…
