Waylon Jennings - Beautiful Anabel Lee Lyrics
I was a child and she was a child
Yet our love was something to see
My parents were poor I was turned from the door
Of my beautiful Anabel Lee.
Of my beautiful Anabel Lee
And the stars never rise but I feel the soft eyes
Of my beautiful Anabel Lee.
[Instrumental]
But not even the angels in heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can't keep me away from my meeting someday
With my beautiful Anabel Lee.
And the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of my beautiful Anabel Lee
And the stars never rise but I feel the soft eyes
Of my beautiful Anabel Lee.
My beautiful Anabel Lee...

Waylon Jennings Beautiful Anabel Lee Comments
The poem does not lend itself to most pop song structures unless modified. Here is a version that is a modified version of the poem, but sticks closer to the original intent of the author...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4voIHW6NVrw
This is a beautiful song from Waylon that I've not heard before. I love it, so thank you very much for sharing it with us !!!
You are very welcome.
If you ask me, it's fair to give Harlan a lot of credit, even if he did adapt Poe.
POEMS AIN'T LYRICS, and a good poem (William Carlos Williams notwithstanding) is too long for a three minute song
(Bluegrasser Tom Gray took Lord Byron's "When We Two Parted and made a song out of it, but had to leave out a majority of the stanzas when he made "Silence or Tears') Adaptations don't write themselves.
I agree.
@44phil1 I suppose Howard did take some of the words from Poe's Poem
@sgunzalez This song is not Poe's poem.
well atleast they didnt masacre poes work
@LillyDale85 You are welcome Glad you liked it
@44phil1 Poe may have written the poem Anabelle Lee, but he certainly did not write the words to this song. This is not nearly as macabre as that poem. In fact it is just a nice little love song.
@ItsWaldo Thanks Waldo.
@mommenon1 You are welcome Marianne.
@teeger66 Glad you liked it Janet.
