Me and my Annette was as fond as we could be
We were set to marry in October '33
I set besides the courtin' her as fine as she could be
I never ever noticed her best friend Merilee
Took a job at the sawmill, I bought my girl a ring
Had a pre-wedding party, close friends and family
Everything was fine, eating homemade ice cream
I swear I never noticed maid of honor Merilee
And my sweet Annette was left standing at the altar
My sweet Annette was left standing at the altar
ย
Merilee was taken ill, it was several miles from home
Back then it wasn't fitting for a girl to leave alone
Sweet Annette she asked me to walk her to the door
As innocent as children back before the war
And my sweet Annette was left standing at the altar
My sweet Annette was left standing at the altar
Lord have mercy for what we've done
Lord have mercy when two people get alone
Neither one of us had done anything like that you see
By the next sunset I had eloped with Merilee
By the next sunset I had eloped with Merilee
By the next sunset I had eloped with Merilee
ย
My sweet Annette was left standing at the altar
