Annie’s lover

Taj Mahal

Album: Giant Step (1969)

Original Key <B> - probably <C> shapes tuned low

Annie's lover was a big old man, he was a farming man
Never spent much time worrying about the people
In the big big city

'Cause all he did know about was the cows and the chickens
And the pigs and the horses and the sheep and the goats
And the ducks that fly
Sat on the hill side playing his guitar
Watching the whole thing come down in a harmony

Annie's lover was a big old man he was an African man
He walked a lot and looked around and saw everything
That his eyes could see

'Cause all he did know about was the cows and the chickens
The pigs and the horses and the sheep and the goats
And the trees and the waters and the fields and the mountains
And the blue sky and the big clouds
And the ducks that fly
Sat on the hill side playing his guitar
Watching the whole thing come down in a harmony

Hey Shab be do...(scat section)

Oh Annie's lover was a big old man he was a farming man
Never spent much time worrying about the people
In the big big big city

'Cause all he did know about was the cows and the chickens
The pigs and the horses and the sheep and the goats
And the big, big, mountains
And the blue skys and the water and the big tree and the grass
And the ducks that fly
He sat on the hill side, playing his guitar
Watching the whole thing come down in a harmony
