Annie, Heart Thief of the Sea

If you want to see my girl
 You better be ready, Imma show you the world
 On a beach and on the shore
 I'll tell you a story and it's all about a pearl
 Creamy white and crystal clear
 It glistened in the sun it had nothing to fear
 Many came from near and far
 There was nothing like the beauty that they saw
 I was sailing on the sea
 There was nothing as far as I could see
 When a vision of a girl
 Blinded my eyes, she's as pretty as a pearl
 Swam along with us awhile
 I was hooked, I was smitten by her smile
 When she traded me her heart
 I took it from her hand
 Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
 What'd I do?
 Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
 All you left me was a pearl
 As I looked into my palm
 I was swallowed by the vision that I saw
 In this pearl of perfect white
 I saw us together in a union of delight
 When I looked into her eyes
 I saw nothing but the mirror of the skies
 I dove deep into the cold
 I was ready to be
 Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
 What'd I do?
 Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
 All you left me was a pearl
 When they pulled me from the cold
 I wondered why I'd never felt so old
 For my hair had turned to white
 I'd long been dead and so had my wife
 She had died of a broken heart
 Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
 What'd I do?
 Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
 All you left me was a pearl
 Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
 What'd I do?
 Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
 All you left me was a pearl
 Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
 What'd I do?
 Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
 All you left me was a pearl
 Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
 What'd I do?
 Why'd you take my heart, Annie?
 All you left me was a pearl
