My great-grandfather stepped off a boat and walked 35 miles barefoot with a half-crown in his pocket to his own wedding on New Year’s Day, 1918. He was 17 and this was his party piece.
This song is beautiful. The Corries have brought a lot of old Scottish songs back to life. It gives me such joy to listen to them. Their voices are like rich musical instruments.
i just started doing family history and learned that i am a direct decedent of Annie Laurie. obviously i am now obsessed with this song and this is truly the prettiest version.
Maxwellton braes are bonnie Where early fa's the dew And it's there that Annie Laurie Gave me her promise true Gave me her promise true That ne'er forgot will be And for bonnie Annie Laurie I lay me doon and dee Her brow is like the snowdrift Her neck it's like the swan Her face it is the fairest That e'er the sun shone on That e'er the sun shone on And dark blue is her ee And for bonnie Annie Laurie I lay me doon and dee Like dew on th' gowan lying Is the fall o' her fairy feet And like winds in summer sighing Her voice is low and sweet Her voice is low and sweet And she's a' the world to me And for bonnie Annie Laurie I lay me doon and dee
Annie Laurie" is an old Scottish song based on a poem written by William Douglas (1682?-1748) of Dumfriesshire, about his romance with Annie Laurie (1682-1764.)the tune was added by Alicia Scott in 1834/5. The song is also known as "Maxwelton Braes”".................. Maxwellton braes are bonnie Where early fa's the dew And it's there that Annie Laurie Gied me her promise true Gied me her promise true That ne'er forgot will be And for bonnie Annie Laurie I'd lay doon and dee
I love this song. It reminds me of my childhood in Australia and of all the wonderful scottish an irish songs we learnt at school. My teacher in Perth WA called me Annie Laurie because it wasn't easy for english speaking people to pronounce my german name correctly "Annelore". Annie Laurie is my song!
Ausgezeichnet. I was born in Germany-Army brat-so I came to the USA quite early with my parents and 3 siblings to Ga. My nickname in a high school German class was Hannah Lore. I like the connection, though my real name is Virginia.
This is the very first time I've heard this beautiful song on this very day because of one of the brave crew of a LANCASTER coming home towards the English shore started singing it. Very poignant indeed, just listening to one of those brave men brought tears to my eyes. Wonderful wonderful. 24th june 2021🇬🇧🙏🇬🇧🙏

Just heard about how german soldiers would start singing on Christmas Eve in the trenches during WWI. Then after the english heard a lonely voice, loud and powerful that would sing the beginning of Annie Laurie in perfect english from a german soldier, to which the english would respond in loud applause. Just envisioning this brought a tear to my eye. These poor and broken soldiers sitting in absolutely misery in snow, mud and body parts all around on Christmas, victims of a pointless war, and the shootings and shellings are stopped by spontaneous singing. Heard this on Hardcore History by Dan Carlin, recommend it.
Anders Backberg Truly one of the most meaningless wars that ever were. If you've seen Black Adder Goes Forth, Baldrick asks Captain Blackadder why the war stared where Blackadder replies: "Because Baldrick, it was too much of an effort NOT to have a war."
The German Chancellor, The Russian Czar and the King of England were cousins in a power struggle within the family. If anyone has a right to be bitter, it's us - the Newfoundlanders - who suffered the highest casualty rate of any allied country.
+aljcamp _"Newfoundlanders - who suffered the highest casualty rate of any allied country."_ Incorrect. Every small country tells this tale and they're all wrong. Like, way wrong. You've been lied to. Look it up.
This song is actually much better known in Korea than Scotland, because it was a popular xtian hymn in there (Korea had no hymns so the western missionaries just put the words in popular songs of the day). It is mostly sung in xtian funerals now.
There's no such thing on the planet as an xtian. We are ffollowers of CHRIST We areCHRISTIANS. The song is as we say in Scotland well lent at least by the older generation in both this beautiful traditional setting and the religious version There's a common belief that singing the tune to either setting means it will rain that day
Learned to play this for beginner violin lessons and I really liked the rhythm. Decided to UA-cam the full song... such a simple yet lovely, beautiful tune.

"The trouble with so much thinking, though, or with that which calls itself thinking, is that it’s like farting Annie Laurie down a keyhole." Harold Pinter
I learned this song at a very young age and I almost named my 1st daughter, Annie Laurie. My ex didn't like it and to this day I regret that I chose a different name.
much more difficult to sing than it would seem, it has quite a range on it from high to low. I know whats the point? my point is these guys are so Excellent at what they do.

Fantastic version - my mother was from Scotland and my father was Danish and they listened to this song many times😊
I have a similar heritage, gg grandmother from Haddington Scotland and gg grandfather from Odense Denmark, circa 1863
Makes me think of my grandmother, named Annie Laurie after this song. Rest in peace, Grandma! I love you!
Where I used to work, there was a woman named Annie Laurie, and oddly, she had NEVER heard of this song until I sang it for her.
Did she like the song?
Hard to imagine someone loving someone that much.
Not today unfortunately.
I'm named after this song! 💜🎶💜
Love it! What a sweet song to be named after too. All the best, Annie Laurie! 🤗 -Joseph Alan
Her voice was low and sweet... Long live Annie Laurie, and the Corries 💙
I grew up with song sung by Sidney Mc Ewan and I am not a Scottish descendant but this was amongst me grandmother's favourites and was Irish.
I wish those romantic innocent days will come back again
Im an american who just found this they do live on in our hearts
i was born in Belfast Ireland 1943 love this song!

I didn't know Annie was modeled after a real person
Leigh Carnes Oh wow that’s interesting
I found out I’m also related to Annie Laurie, hence me finding this song. Looks like we are distant relations!
@@Boggart202 😍😍😍😍me too
I’ve been longing for the day I can call Milk Steak my relation
My mother’s name was Lorraine, called Laurie, and to many nieces and nephews, was “Annie Laurie”.
What an awesome song and marvelous rendition plus others. The Scottish must be a worthy people -- an admirer from Taiwan.
I used to play this on the cello. It was a warm up exercise in music class.
Maxwellton braes are bonnie
Where early fa's the dew
And it's there that Annie Laurie
Gave me her promise true
Gave me her promise true
That ne'er forgot will be
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I lay me doon and dee
Her brow is like the snowdrift
Her neck it's like the swan
Her face it is the fairest
That e'er the sun shone on
That e'er the sun shone on
And dark blue is her ee
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I lay me doon and dee
Like dew on th' gowan lying
Is the fall o' her fairy feet
And like winds in summer sighing
Her voice is low and sweet
Her voice is low and sweet
And she's a' the world to me
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I lay me doon and dee
Learning it on piano 🎹.
I needed to be able to sing along I had no clue what they were saying,but I love this song so much

I don't think your name is hard to pronounce.
In a way Annie Laurie is an English version of your name.

If you've seen Black Adder Goes Forth, Baldrick asks Captain Blackadder why the war stared where Blackadder replies: "Because Baldrick, it was too much of an effort NOT to have a war."
K Hitch was just listening to Dan Carlins hardcore history podcast speak about this event, had to hear this tune.

I love that book....
That is what her father sang to her
My late wife loved the movie and the song.
Re-reading the book for the 4th time :)
What a beautiful song. Sang brilliantly by the masters. I miss Roy's music.
LOVED THE CORRIES SO MUCH WILL NOT LET THIS MUSIC DIE IN MY HOUSE MY KIDS KIDS WILL BE LISTENING TO THE AND THERES THEY WERE A PACK
"The Portree Kid" and the Bricklayer's Song" were my favourites when I first heard them. I've added many others to my list-and not just the Corries.
Being not a Scottish on listening to this song every time I can't help feeling the Scottish soul in my heart❤
As a Scot, we will always welcome you ❤

My grandfather in the Western NC mountains used to sing this song to me.
Great version of a beautiful song, Try it by Jean Redpath.
My guitar book 4 from Estella & Roberts has this on page 27.
She married Alexander Ferguson my direct ancestor, my 7th great grandfather..I am a Ferguson..my grandsons name is Aleks...we're still here
Great Scottish tune from 1838

This is by far the best available version Veronica

I tried playing with Leaflute.
The best version of this song is found in Bird People in China
Sung by Haymarket martyr Albert Parsons to Lucy before being executed by the State.
so this is the song Edwin Hubble stood for
Who is Annie Laury
Cedie played on flute
My middle school band has to play this, but way slower than this
This is an old Scottish song. This is a good version by The Corries though I would prefer a rendition by Kenneth McKellar.

Bull-loney. All references to the poem, song, and versions of the song date back to SCOTTISH writers.

so typically English , trying to steal from the Scots
