Lyrics

Annabelle get me off this mountain
Annabelle bring me in from sea
Annabelle get me off this mountain
One fine day your love will set me free

Now you may walk through the valley of darkness
You may think you are a man so brave
There'll come a time when your heart will seek solace
That's the time you'll be sat down in your grave

Chorus

Many times I've crossed the line of righteous
Many times I've hungered all alone
Annabelle will ease me from my troubles
That woman of mine will heal my aching bones

While one man is drawn to a higher power
And another man is swalled by his pride
You'll find me further up the road, son
With Annabelle right there by my side

Chorus
