lyrics

Little Annie can’t find God

With that weight around her neck

Three young souls alone and lost

Without that weight around her neck

Gotta lay those boys down to sleep one more time

So she can get up and do it again

No time for love, no time for play

With that weight around her neck

She keeps’em fed and clothed and bathed

And that’s the weight around her neck

Lost her Momma to the youngest and her Daddy to the gin

Gotta lay those boys down to sleep one more time

So she can get up and do it again

She don’t want pity for her plight

Can’t spare a minute for a tear

And how those faces shine so bright

When they know that Annie’s near

She’s a sister and a mother, but she’ll never be a kid

Gotta lay those boys down to sleep one more time

So she can get up and do it again

Little Annie can’t see God

With that weight around her neck

But he walks with her all the while

Help lift the burden from her head

She just hopes for the best and she does what she can

Gotta lay those boys down to sleep one more time

So she can get up and do it again
