Annan Water 05:17
Oh Annan Water's wondrous deep And my love Annie's wondrous bonny I'm loath that she should wet her feet Because I love her best of any. Go saddle me the bonny grey mare Go saddle her soon and make her ready For I must cross that stream tonight Or nevermore I’ll see my lady. And woe betide you Annan Water At nights you are a gloomy river, And over you I'll build a bridge That never more true love may sever. And he has ridden o'er field and fell O'er moor and moss and many a mire His spurs of steel were sore to bite And from the mare's feet flew the fire. The mare flew on o'er moor and moss And when she'd won the Annan Water She couldn't have ridden a furlong more Had a thousand whips been laid upon her. Oh boatman come put off your boat Put off your boat for golden money For I must cross that stream tonight Or never more I'll see my Annie. The sides are steep the waters deep From bank to brae the water's pouring And your bonny grey mare she sweats for fear She stands to hear the water roaring. And he has tried to swim that stream And he swam on both strong and steady But the river was broad and strength did fail And he never saw his bonny lady. And woe betide the willow wands And woe betide the bush of briar For it broke beneath her true love's hand When strength did fail and limbs did tire.

about

This is a download pack of sheet music, lyrics and a midi file which will help you make a folk band arrangement of the traditional song "Annan Water".

I've made an example recording of the sort of thing you can do with it, which is also included in the download.

There's also a "karaoke" version - just the backing without the vocal, for singers to use in the absence of a band.

WHAT YOU GET:
-----------------------

PDFs:

* Vocal harmony part
* Newly composed simple instrumental intro / riff, with a melody and harmony part
* Scored piano accompaniment
* Chords
* Lyrics
* Instrumental and bass part accompaniments to played alongside vocal line
* Instrumental "show-off" parts for more advanced players to use as solos over both the riff and verse sections

AUDIO:

* Demo recording as heard above
* Backing track - the demo recording without the vocals, for singers to use if they have no musicians to play with

OTHER:

You'll receive one pdf file that has all the different parts, as follows:
