Annie' Rose


Annie Rose loved to dance
She danced and danced all day
She whirled and twirled upon her toes
Skipping every way

Her hair cascaded to her waist
Sweeping to the tune
Annie Rose loved to dance
Beneath the harvest moon

Her dainty feet moved like light
Upon the sanded floor
The music soared from bar to bar
Joined by a muted roar

Annie Rose loved to dance
She felt the rhythm flow
Her supple arms and fingertips
Matched every subtle bow

Annie Rose danced and danced
Till she could dance no more
The music ceased as Annie Rose
Sank to the sanded floor

The crowded room gazed in awe
As gracefully she lay
For Annie Rose danced thro' the night
Through till the dawning day
