Verse 

D                       A         D 
Listen now children a story I'll tell 
       G                     D 
Of a woman they called Anna Lee 
D                            A            D 
She had a fine son and she raised him up well 
        G                   D 
And a daughter as lovely as she 

A D I'll return to you, dear, in the dimming of day G D As the sparrow returns to her nest D G D I'll return to you dreaming with each lullaby G D Hold your sweet weary head to my breast
Verse D A D She sang to her darlings a sweet lullaby G D As the cool evening shadows grow long D A D Angels and nightingales gather at night G D Just to hear mother Anna Lee's song
A D I'll return to you, dear, in the dimming of day G D As the sparrow returns to her nest D G D I'll return to you dreaming with each lullaby G D Hold your sweet weary head to my breast
Verse D A D I heard it one morning she rode into town G D To tend to her dear sister there D A D She kissed her two babies on cheek and on brow G D And left them with nary a care D A D The wind it did rise and the rain it did fall G D The river, a shadowy wave D A D Anna Lee never heard danger's dark call G D And was swept to her watery grave
A D I'll return to you, dear, in the dimming of day G D As the sparrow returns to her nest D G D I'll return to you dreaming with each lullaby G D Hold your sweet weary head to my breast
