"Common Blackbird Blues" (guitar, bluesharp & vocals) performing an adaption of "Annabelle" (written by Gillian Welch, 1996).
Guitar | Godin 5th Avenue
Bluesharp | Seydell 1847 SILVER+ (F) played in 5th position (= Am).

She leased twenty acres and one jenny mule
From the Alabama trust
From half of the cotton and a third of the corn
You get a handful of dust

Chorus:
We can not have all things to please us
No matter how we try
Until we've all gone to Jesus
We can only wonder why

She had a daughter called her Annabelle
She was the apple of her eye
Tried to give her something like she never had
She didn't want to ever hear her cry

Chorus

When I'm dead and buried I had a life of tears
For every day I've ever known
Anna's in the churchyard, she's got no life at all
She's only got these words on a stone

Chorus

Until we've all gone to Jesus
We can only wonder why.
