Sarah Jarosz - Annabelle Lee Lyrics






Many a year ago
In a kingdom by the sea
There lived a maiden you may know
By the name of Annabelle Lee
No other thought did trouble her mind
But to love and be loved by me

We were children both
In this kingdom by the sea
But we loved with a love that was more than love
I and my Annabelle Lee
With a love that the winged angels high
Coveted her and me

This was the reason long ago
In this kingdom by the sea
A wind blew from a stormy cloud
That took my Annabelle Lee
Then her wicked brothers came
To steal her away from me

They shut her up in a tomb below
This kingdom by the sea
But no maiden’s grave could sever my soul
From the love she bore for me
For the moon don’t beam without a dream
Of my darling Annabelle Lee

For many years I’ve wandered
Through this kingdom by the sea
I’ve laid myself beside the bones
Of my beautiful Annabelle Lee
I’ll make my bed near the rising tide
In her tomb by the sounding sea

    Interesting last name this the young lady have, I know a few people by that last name - but on the other side of Europe from any contemporary Celtic areas of habitation.

    Awesomeness. I remembering knowing this Poem and trying to recite it during class for a grade and choking out... Lol... Love the music for sure

  3. R.... T....

    A lot of people talk about her voice and playing, but damn, her arrangements and orchestration are absolutely brilliant, too. She's like roots Maurice Ravel.

  4. J.... S....

    Awesome, so far the best musical rendition to the mastery of Poe´s words.

  5. A.... R....

    Edgar would be so proud.... to be 16 yrs old and write this song with a girlfriend in English class... I wish my high school years were this for filling

  6. A.... ....

  10. B.... W....

    Could You Imagine Edgar Allen Poe hearing this? sitting down and hearing this amazing rendition of his poetry. I think he would be Awestruck.

    Some of those musicians look familiar I think that's Donal Lunny playing Bouzouki. He, the violin player and the drummer look like musicians who were backing for Steve Earle and Sharon Shannon during the Irish Gala Concert, Kennedy Centre, Washington; May 13, 2000. BTW, this is an incredible video. Sarah Jarosz is such a fantastic young musician!

    C.... T....

    Amen! I couldn't agree more. She has a voice like an angel. What incredible talent.

  39. M.... S....

    Take a close look at Sarah Jarosz's banjo.
    It has SIX strings!

    M.... S....

    I count 5 tuning pegs on the head-stock, plus one on the neck about 2/3 of the way along. I think I'm right in saying its a custom banjo, made for her by a friend.

    M.... S....

    You are right Tom. I had my glasses on and missed the up neck peg lol.

    M.... S....

    Sarah Jarosz's string garden...

    M.... S....

    I noticed that a while back. I would be intrigued as to how it's tuned.

    M.... S....

    Jason Lawrence of Tuba Skinny also plays a six string banjo. It sounds great.
