Annabelle Songtext
von Nowhere Train

Released twenty acres and one jenny mule
From the Alabama Trust
For half of the cotton and a third of the corn
We get a handful of dust

Can′t have all the things to please us
No matter how hard we try
Until we all go on down to Jesus
We can only wonder why

I had a daughter, named her Annabelle
She's the apple of my eye
Tried to give her all the things that I ain′t never had
Didn't wanna hear her cry


Can't have all the things to please us
No matter how hard we try
Until we all go on down to Jesus
We can only wonder why

When I′m dead and gone I′ll take a hard life of tears
For every day I've ever known
Cause Anna′s in the churchyard and she ain't got no life at all
Just got these words on a stone

Can′t have all the things to please us
No matter how hard we try
Until we all go on down to Jesus
We can only wonder why
Can't have all the things to please us
No matter how hard we try
Until we all go on down to Jesus
We can only wonder why
We can only wonder why
We can only wonder why
