Annie Took the Money

me and Annie had a plan
it was all worked out
this time it'd go right
there wasn't any doubt
everything was ready
on the chosen day
when i woke up that morning
that girl had gone away

Annie took the money - she took it all

my cousin was in prison
my sister was away
i hadn't seen my daddy
since last election day
but i didn't need no family
not with Annie by my side
i had walked a ragged mile
ah but now i'was gonna ride

Annie took the money - she took it all

landlord sent the sheriff
to put me on the street
just barely had a change of clothes
and these old shoes upon my feet
i set out a-walking
cold and rainy day
me and Annie shoulda been
a thousand miles away

Annie took the money - she took it all
