Al Kooper - Anna Lee (What Can I Do For You ?) lyrics

Kooper

You left me when the crops was
Failin’ & the chickens died
Ya ran away from our little red farmhouse
On the mountainside
As soon as ya left the sun came
By and he smiled on me
And somebody said ya met someone
And he chopped down your cherry tree

So Anna Lee what can I do for you?
Ooo Anna Lee i cannot tear myself in two
Like we used to do cause it’s all brand new
Anna Lee

Now once upon a time ya swore ya
Was mine & I loved u so
So we went to see Sam & he sold us some land
And we both made it grow
But somethin’ got a hold of you
And took ya to town every Tuesday night
And when I’d come to look for you
I’d see ole Jim holdin’ ya tight

So Anna Lee what can I do for you?
Ooo Anna Lee i cannot tear myself in two
Like we used to do cause it’s all brand new

Anna Lee my time is growin’ long
And pretty soon the baby’s due
And I love this girl so strong
I ain't gonna leave her
Ain't gonna grieve her not for you
Not for you, Anna Lee
There used to be a time I
Could look in your eyes
And trust inside your name
But times have turned themselves around
And it ain't no use in me playin your game
So Anna Lee what can I do for you?
Ooo Anna Lee i cannot tear myself in two
Like we used to do cause it’s all brand new
Anna Lee
