D / / / 2 / / /
Goin' downtown to see my sister today
Goin' downtown to see my sister, oh Mae
G D
Well I'm goin' downtown, yes I'm goin' downtown
A7 G D
Well I'm goin' downtown to see my sister today
CHORUS:
Hold on, Annie Mae, hold on, Annie Mae
G D
Hold on, Annie Mae, hold on, Annie Mae
A7 G D
Hold on, hold on, is this my Annie Mae?
Verse 2:
Ain't nobody home to answer the door
Maybe my Annie don't live here no more
Well I must hang around, every night a-downtown
Well I'm lookin' around to see my sister today
(chorus)
Verse 3:
She didn't leave nothin', no trace a-behind
She didn't leave numbers for me to be fine
So I'm leavin' downtown, yes I'm leavin' downtown
Well I'm leavin' downtown, I miss my sister today
(chorus x2)
(instrumental, same pattern as verses, fading out)
