American Old Time Song Lyrics: 26 Little Annie Kelly

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 26

LITTLE ANNIE KELLY.
Tune- "Little Annie Rooney."
By Dave Rinaldo.

A nice young girl, a pleasant look, I spoke to her, my arm she took,
She whispered softly she'll be mine, little Annie Kelly;
Every day when I'm at work she passes by, with me she. flirts,
I think she's lovely all the while little Annie Kelly.

Chorus.
She's my sweetest, she's my own.
She's the prettiest girl that's known;
I will take her and make her my wife,
Little Annie Kelly will be mine for life.

We're married close on to a year, and to me she is very dear,
A bouncing baby on her knee, has little Annie Kelly;
Every night when come from work. I sit and think now we did flirt,
But I am happy all the while with little Annie Kelly.

Chorus.
She's my sweetest, she's my own.
She's the prettiest girl that's known;
I have won her and made her my wife,
Little Annie Kelly is mine for life.

Our household's very neat and clean, a happier couple seldom seen,
There's nothing that's too good for me and little Annie Kelly;
Pleasant evenings, when work is o'er. I stroll in some theatre door,
But never do I leave behind my little Annie Kelly.

Chorus.
She's my sweetest, she's my own.
She's the prettiest girl that's known:
I have won her and made her my wife,
Little Annie Kelly is mine for life.
