_ _ _ _ _ _ Listen _ now children, a [E] story _ I'll tell [Bm] of a woman [G] they call _ [D] Annalee.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ She had a fine son and she raised him up well and [Bm] a daughter _ [G] as [D] lovely _ as she.
_ _ _ _ _ I'll [A] return to you dear [D] in the _ dimming of day _ [G] as a sparrow _ [E] returns to [D] her _ _ nest.
_ _ I'll return to you dreaming with [Gb]
each _ _ [D] lullaby,
hold [G] your sweet weary head to [D] my _ _ breast.
_ _ She'd sing to her darlings [A] a sweet _ _ [D] lullaby as [Bm] the _ evening _ [D] shadows grow _ _ long. _ _ _ _
Angels and _ _ nightingales [E] _ gathering _ night [Bm] to hear mother [D] _ _ _
Annalee's song.
_ _ _ [A] I'll return to you dear [D] in the _ dimming of [G] day as a sparrow _ [D] returns to her _ _ _ nest.
_ I'll return to you dreaming with each _ _ lullaby,
hold [G] your sweet weary head to [E]
my breast.

_ _ _ _ _ _ Early _ one morning she rode [Am] into _ _ town [G] to tend to her dear [A] sister _ _ there.
_ _ _ She kissed her two babies on cheek [Am] and on brow _ [Bm] and left them [G] with an [D] airy _ care.
_ _ _ _ The wind it did rise and [A] the rain it did _ fall, the [G]
river a _ _ watery [D] _
_ way. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Annalee never _ [A] heard _ danger's [D] dark call [G] and was swept to her _ _ watery _ [Bm] grave. _ _ _ _
[A] I'll return to you dear in the _ [D] dimming of day [Bm] as a sparrow _ [D] _ returns [G]
to [D] her _ _ _ nest. _
I'll return [Bm] to you dreaming with each _ _ lullaby,
hold [G] your sweet _ weary head to my _ [D] _ _ _
_ breast.

_ _ _ _ _ We got this great horn section [E] up here and I think [D] we need to feature them a little bit.
_ _ Clark Gaten on trombone, Stevie Bernstein on trumpet, Eric Lawrence on saxophone.
_ And of course the man who's probably played on this site more than anybody else alive,
Howard Johnson on tuba and saxophone.
_ _ Yeah, with every possible _ configuration in the form of music. _ _
_ _ _ _ And of course
