Between The Jars - Annie Green lyrics

Artist: Between The Jars

album: Annie Green


Oh Annie was so green
She had barely reached the age of fifteen
Yet she had seen enough to know that the city was cruel
On her bare feet she walked
For miles looking for a place to stay
It pained her to see that those with more threw their wealth away
Oh Annie walked a thousand miles
Searching, looking, all the while
She couldn't stand the light of day

And no one was surprised that Annie had enough after all these years
She had no more tears,
Just the weight of hunger on her mind
So she gathered what she had
And sold it to a man who would help her
To get her life on track
She just needed to fulfil his request
Oh Annie green as grass could be
Forced by certain misery
To make due, with what she had

He pushed a gun into her hand
Where did it all go wrong?
She was lying on the ground
Two days later she was found

And so Annie's story was resolved
With white chalk on the floor
She's sadly one of many
Who's book ends on a darker note
Oh Annie green as grass could be
Forced by certain misery
To make due, with what she had
