By Ellis Paul C G Im skippin stones at the edge of the dock Am F A fog came rollin in, quiet like a hawk C G The rivers so smooth, it could shatter with a rock Am F It felt like I was walking on water Then the doctors daughter came and dove right in Lord almighty, shes in nothing but skin I could turn my head but she may never come again Shes filling the sky with her laughter Chorus C G Annalee, Annalee Am F Youre shaking the timbers youre rattling the leaves C G Theres a full moon rising in front of me Am F Come and stake your claim on my memory Annalee, Annalee Did the good Lord send you down to deliver me Come lay your head in a bed of leaves I am here, I am yours for the taking Well around about midnight on a riverboat ride Im a mandolin jukebox and Annies at my side One bottle empty, one waiting like a bride Shes dancing like light on the water Weve got six weeks till college, six weeks and then were gone Oh, life is like a river and the rivers rolling on So come on, Annie, you taste like brandy Will you kiss me awake come morning? Chorus Bridge C Am I cant promise a lifetime of tomorrows F G What tomorrow brings God only knows C Am I know this about tomorrow, were filling it with sorrow F G If we let tonight just end Chorus
