Anna Dixie

  • Lal Waterson

    A yeoman farmer, he loved me dearly
    So did my father, but not that clearly
    Trying to spoil things for my man and me
    He set a trap would break the back of any tree

    My man and me went walking
    My man did all of the talking
    Down by Bosworth Park, green in the dark
    Taking the long way back
    I fell in my father's trap
    Causing the birds above to wake up

    Over there, and under him
    The horse supporting Richard, my king
    Began galloping too fast for him
    The horse's hooves came tumbling down
    Close by my burying ground
    Forever we are bound on Redmoor Plain

    My name is Anna Dixie
    My father killed me
    Resting peacefully, oh no, not me
    Lay me beyond Cheyney
    Lest I come search for thee
    Dress me up grandly lest I scare thee

    A yeoman farmer, he loved me dearly
    So did my father, but not that clearly

    As sung by Norma Waterson
