The Tragedy of Annie Mae Lyrics

She was told do not go
running down the stairs,
told that old dark well
is not a place to play.

Told it isn't safe to tease
the poison snakes.
Don't forget to pray the Lord
your soul to take.

Don't cry for the tragedy of Annie Mae,
high time for the frightening of Annie Mae.

Now they just find traces of
her everywhere,
at her eulogy the priest said
she's to blame.

Dirty little girls like her make
men insane and so Satan
must have taken her because
she would not obey

Don't cry for the tragedy of Annie Mae,
high time for the frightening of Annie Mae,
no time to rectify the end of Annie Mae.
