I don't want the boy with the long brown hair
I don't want the one with the curls
I want Jimmy and the devil may care
And Jimmy's good with the girls
He took the girl with the long brown hair
He took the one with the curls
He took me and the devil may care
And Jimmy's good with the girls
Come and walk in the autumn woods
Come and walk in town
She walked with him to the end of the earth
And together they lay down
Annie, the light that's in your eyes
Tells your lover's name
Annie, the hope that's in your heart
Will turn to grief and shame
Sunday, Monday passing by
Thursday, Friday too
Annie walks in the winter sun
A week past she was due
Two weeks, three weeks passing by
Three and four and five
Annie walked in the winter rain
And wished that she could die
December passed, the New Year gone
Judgment day has come
The doctor sat in the judge's chair
And the judges turned her down
Jimmy won't walk, Jimmy won't talk
Jimmy don't come around
Annie's gone to a back street woman
To bring the baby down
Pain floods into that place
Where love has come and gone
Close the door and close the door
And Annie's walking home
Slowly, slowly up the stairs
Into her childhood room
Her bed filled up with red, red blood
Annie died alone
She won't have the boy with the long brown hair
She won't have the one with the curls
She got Jimmy and the devil may care
And Jimmy's good with the girls
Men sit in the judge's chair
We are up on trial
Woman, if you conceive
You must bear your child
