Small and dark

Is my Anna Marie,

With her hair in a bob

She waits for me.

A hat of silver straw

Is hers to wear,

A dress of leafy green

On her brown skin.

Small and dark

Is my Anna Marie,

With her hair in a bob

She waits for me.

Lips like pear

For me to kiss,

Eyes of a dove

And I fall in love.

Small and dark

Is my Anna Marie,

With her hair in a bob

She waits for me.

I will never leave her

Even if I die today,

I will walk with her

Through all eternity.
