Drive-By Truckers - My Sweet Annette lyrics

[Drive-By Truckers - My Sweet Annette lyrics]

Me and my Annette
We was as fond as we could be
We was set to marry in October '33
I set my sights to courtin' her
As fine as she could be
I never ever noticed her best friend Marilee

Took a job at the saw mill and
I bought my girl a ring
Had a pre-wedding party
Close friends and family
Everything was fine
Eatin' homemade ice cream
I swear I never noticed maid of honor Marilee

And my sweet Annette was left
Standing at the altar
My sweet Annette was left
Standing at the altar marilee was taken ill
It was several miles from home
Back then it wasn't fittin' for


A girl to leave alone sweet Annette
She asked me to walk her to the door
As innocent as children back before the war

And my sweet Annette was left
Standing at the altar
My sweet Annette was left
Standing at the altar

Lord have mercy for what we done
Lord have mercy when two people get alone
Neither one of us had
Done anything like that, you see
By the next sunset, I had eloped with Marilee
By the next sunset, I had eloped with Marilee
By the next sunset, I had eloped with Marilee

My sweet Annette was left
Standing at the altar
