Jan Thompson - Miss Annabelle Lyrics

Miss annabelle
He had known miss annabelle from when they both were young
He the daughter of a Duke and she the head grooms son
He would come and help most days
To put the horses out to graze
And stack the bails into the barn
When his duties were complete
Miss annabelle and him would meet
And ride away to somewhere quiet and calm
They would sit among long grass
And watch the summer evening pass
Till darkness fell, they'd ride back home
They'd put the horses out to graze
And then they'd go they're separate ways
And all the while, their love had grown
Miss annabelle she was the daughter of a Duke
And he had found a wealthy husband
Which he knew she would dispute
But her future had been written
As she grew inside the womb
So that meant she could not marry
The son of their head groom
He had known miss annabelle could never be his bride
And they both would be heart broken
When it came to say Goodbye
They would sit among long grass
And watch the summer evening pass
Till darkness fell, they'd ride back home
They'd put the horses out to graze
And then they'd go they're separate ways
And all the while, their love had grown
