[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Don't cry for the tragedy of Annie Mae
High time for the frightening of Annie Mae

[Verse 2]
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
So Satan must have taken her ’cause she would not obey

[Chorus]
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

[Interlude]
Alright

[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Don't cry for the tragedy of Annie Mae
No, it's high time for the frightening of Annie Mae
No time to rectify the end of Annie Mae
