The Last Time I Saw Annie

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, they say that Annie's married And livin' on the mainland And workin' as a waitress While her husband runs a crane [Chorus] But the last time I saw Annie We were supposed to meet in Calais Back in 1967 But my Annie never came [Verse 2] Now, some people are farmers And others farm the oceans And some men own the factories Just clutter up the towns [Verse 3] And some people are good folks And others they're just outlaws But Annie was an angel And me, I hang around [Harmonica Solo] [Verse 4] Now, the old man at the station Says he's got a pint of whisky And he keeps it mighty handy And forgets the things he's told [Verse 5] And I'm headin' out for nowhere For ten days dodgin' memories And ten nights in a barroom And I know it's gettin' cold [Bridge] Now, I know that I'll forget her 'Cause I try not to remember But I've always been a dreamer Dreamin' dreams of long ago [Chorus] But the last time I saw Annie We were supposed to meet in Calais When we both were young and hungry But my Annie never showed [Harmonica Solo] [Verse 5] Now, the road does not run smooth It runs in gentle desperation There are memories of the kindness That we find along the way [Verse 6] And they say that Annie's married And she saves for her vacation And it's a solid situation And it passes time away [Chorus] But the last time I saw Annie We were supposed to meet in Calais Back in 1967 But my Annie never came
