Annie's Song 

Tom Paxton 

What's your hurry, just watch this, this is one you mustn't miss
Annie's going to sing her song called, Take me back again
A drink for me, a drink for you, we're going to need a drink or two
Annie's going to sing her song called, Take me back again 

You've never heard it sung before, I hear it twice a month or more
Complete with tears and sheepish grins, it only lacks the violins
The tune goes flat from time to time, the lyric sometimes fails to rhyme
When Annie's going to sing her song called, Take me back again 

It sometimes lasts the whole night long, depends on how long she's been gone
I sit and look as hard as nails, she knows the damn thing never fails
So take the bottle, fill the cup, don't miss the part where I fold up
Annie's going to sing her song called, Take me back again 

It isn't Annie's only tune, the other I'll be hearing soon
Next week, tomorrow or today - she sings it when she goes away
So take the bottle, fill the cup, don't miss the part where I fold up
Annie's going to sing her song called, Take me back again 

Annie's going to sing her song called, Take me back again
Come on, Annie, sing your song, I'll take you back again
