Anne Marie Mark David Manders
[D]Sweet Anne Marie you know you a[G]re my heart�s de[Em]sire
[D]I�ve got two strong arms and a willing mind, but there
[G]ain�t no jobs for [Em]hire
[D]But I heard talk in Dublin j[G]ust the other [Em]week
[D]Of a land across the ocean where a [A]man can earn his [D]keep
Won�t you [G]come [A]along with [D]me
My sweet Anne Marie
Won�t you come along with me
My sweet Anne Marie
Your father secured our passage when spring arrived last year
In hopes that we�d repay him once we made our fortunes here
Now my pockets are as empty as that feeling in your chest
But I heard talk of a railroad that they�re building way out west
Chorus
Driving spikes for the railroad did not work out like we planned
But pound for pound I know I�m as good as any man
But there�s silver in those hills, at least I�ve been told
It�s enough to make a working man worth his weight in gold
Chorus
For over twenty years I�ve been digging in this ground
You�ve proved to be the only jewel I�ve ever found
But last month I met a man from the oil company
Now there�s a commotion at the rig, come quick you�d better see
Chorus
In the verses when you go from G to Em, do a walkdown and it'll sound better.
