Annabel Lyrics - Ye Banished Privateers

I met a lad from Donegal 

Heave away, haul away 

I got pregnant by the fall 

'n hauled away to Georgia 

I got jailed for all my sins 

Heave away, haul away 

Had me branded on my skin 

N'hauled away to Georgia 

My name was Annabel I say 

My name was Annabel 

But now I'm resting in the ground 

In a grave in Georgia 

I've been drinking far too much 

Heave away, haul away 

Banker's got me in his clutch 

'n hauled away to Georgia 

Whisky's not my only vice 

Heave away, haul away 

Lost my farm on card and dice 

Got hauled away to Georgia 

My name was Annabel I say 

My name was Annabel 

But now I'm resting in the ground 

In a grave in Georgia 

Her name was Annabel I say 

Her name was Annabel 

But now she's resting in the ground 

In a grave in Georgia 

Brick for brick and stone for stone 

Heave away, haul away 

Building George a brand new home 

So haul away to Georgia 

Picking cotton for his vest 

Heave away, haul away 

When indebted there's no rest 

Haul away to Georgia 

My name was Annabel I say 

My name was Annabel 

But now I'm resting in the ground 

In a grave in Georgia 

Her name was Annabel I say 

Her name was Annabel 

But now she's resting in the ground 

In a grave in Georgia 

Ambushed by the Yemassee 

Heave away, haul away 

Pinned an arrow to my knee 

When hauled away to Georgia 

Doctor came into my tent 

Heave away, haul away 

Took me leg an'off he went 

Oh, haul away to Georgia 

My name was Annabel I say 

My name was Annabel 

But now I'm resting in the ground 

In a grave in Georgia 

Her name was Annabel I say 

Her name was Annabel 

But now she's resting in the ground 

In a grave in Georgia 

Fever's gotten to my head 

Heave away, haul away 

The Devil's sleeping in my bed 

Oh, haul away to Georgia 

The be no drinking when I'm gone 

Heave away, haul away 

Oglethorpe he snatched our rum 

Oh, haul away to Georgia 

My name was Annabel I say 

Her name was Annabel 

But now I'm resting in the ground 

In a grave in Georgia 

Her name was Annabel 

I say Her name was Annabel 

But now I'm resting in the ground 

In a grave in Georgia
