Annies Song----- Copyright  at  Valley Park, Mo by: Verne Garrison 09-06-05

 (I just noticed there is another "Annies Song" posted on Banjo Newsletter a TAB 

by Harold Streeter--Wasn't aware of this when I posted mine.  So there is nothing 

in common with Streeter's 3 finger tab; mine just a family song..Verne Garrison)




(D) Fifty-two years you have been devoted to (G)  me
(D) You have accepted it all, with no (A) pay
(D) Now our time is shorter, I begin to (G) see
(D) You are the one who put  us  (A) where we are (D) today.

(D) My years on the road, making the (G) sales
(D) Wouldnt have happened...at (A) all
(D) Without your care,... keeping the kids between the (G) rails
(D) You raised them, balanced the books, (A) never dropped the (D) ball

(D) Now we are both over seventy and  on our (G) way
(D )You are still keeping us steady, making your (A) lists
(D) So, where do we have to go and do (G) today?
(D) Giving me the time to (A) seek my inter(D ests

(D) Marty, Stu, and our pretty  Lee (G) Ann
(D) Seven (count them) Grand Children, top it (A) all
(D) Never would have happened without God and your (G) ---plan
(D) I know I am very lucky, to be (A) your old (D) man.
