Three

[Intro]

It was many and many a year ago in a kingdom by the sea

That a maiden there lived whom you may know by the name of Annabel Lee

And this maiden she lived with no other thought than to love and be loved by me

[Verse 1]

I was a child, and she was a child

In that princedom by the sea

But we loved with a love that was more than just love, oh

With a love even the seraphs up in heaven covet

And that was the reason that long ago

In that princedom asleep by the sea

That a wind shut her body in a sepulcher

Buried in the sea that bore my sweet darling away from me

[Verse 2]

Oh, the angels they envied us—envied our love

Yes, that was the reason the wind came out

Stirred the air and made the waves shake madly

Killing my Annabel Lee, oh my Annabel Lee

Our love, it was strong, so strong

That neither the angels up in Heaven nor

The demons in the sea can ever

Dissever my soul from the soul of my Annabel Lee
