| How with heart a dancing | B |
| I descry her image rare | A |
| O'er the footway glancing | B |
| Ah those locks of dusky hue | C |
| Ah those eyes that twinkle | D |
| Now I laugh their sheen to view | C |
| Now my tears down trinkle | D |
| - | |
| Chorus Well a way night and day | E |
| I must sigh nor can a | F |
| Youth once view her charms nor | G |
| rue | C |
| The peerless charms of Anna | F |
| - | |
| When I see her bonny blink | H |
| I'm upraised to heaven | I |
| When upon her ways I think | H |
| From myself I'm driven | I |
| Not a bit of use am I | J |
| Save with arms a kimbo | K |
| Thus to sit and thus to sigh | J |
| A very wretch in limbo | K |

| - | |
| Up from tossing to and fro | K |
| Bite or sup unheeded | L |
| Up from bed to work I go | K |

| Can it be her voice I hear | P |
| When my pick is swinging | B |
| When her tongue attracts the ear | P |
| Golden bells are ringing | B |
| Do I dream or isn't her e'en | Q |
| Yonder nook adorning | B |
| Blacker than the coal their sheen | R |
| Mocks the coal a burning | B |
| - | |
| Chorus Well a way etc | F |
| - | |
| Ah those locks and ah those eyes | S |
| Ah the rest they've broken | I |
| But in vain their victim tries | S |
| Love can ne'er be spoken | I |
| Man may fathom ocean say | E |
| The reason of its motion | I |
| But love's magic never nay | E |
| 'Tis deeper than the ocean | I |
| - | |
| Chorus Well a way etc | F |
