Deanna Durbin - Annie Laurie

Lyrics - William Douglas
Music - Alicia Scott
Performer - Deanna Durbin
Recorded in 1936 by a 14 year old Deanna Durbin. The maturity of her voice is remarkable here.
Maxwelton's braes are bonnie,
Where early fa's the dew,
'Twas there that Annie Laurie
Gi'ed me her promise true.
Gi'ed me her promise true -
Which ne'er forgot will be,
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down and dee.
Her brow is like the snaw-drift,
Her neck is like the swan,
Her face it is the fairest,
That 'er the sun shone on.
That 'er the sun shone on -
And dark blue is her e'e,
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down and dee.
Like dew on gowans lying,
Is the fa' o' her fairy feet,
And like winds, in simmer sighing,
Her voice is low and sweet.
Her voice is low and sweet -
And she's a' the world to me;
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down and dee.

My dear mommy passed away last year and I will never forget how she was a like to Deanna in her beautiful face and smiling. She used to imitate her in the hair style and a bit of singing. Deanna reminds me my sweat mom, so I always turn to KZbin for Deanna and recall my mother...lovely

[@simone222]

Lovely and touching. Thanks for sharing. Blessings to your beloved mum.

The spirit of Annie Laurie will live forever never to die in the hearts of people loving this song❤❤❤

Winston Churchill said Deanna was his favourite singer, he was right, I am in good company!

[@kloos-s.c.h-7163]

So beautifull face, beautifull voice and beautifull sinnging💥🥰

[@nancyanderson5310]

My father was a pure scot from Nova Scotia with a sister named Annie Laurie. Harry Lauder was a family favorite and of course, the pipes! Bless life for preserving Deanna’s gift and this lovely song.

[@Spudvivi]

I was just looking into my family tree and ended up here because this song was written for my ancestor Annie Laurie. I read that it's now known as an old Scottish love song. It's amazing how much we can learn about our relatives. Beautiful singing from Deanna.

[@BrettKennedy]

I have relatives named after this song too. A grandmother and a sister. The family story is that my great grandfather heard the song during the civil war.

[@ROLLOVERROVERdotORG]

Same here!

[@Spudvivi]

Just to be honest for the sake of this video. Feel free to look us up. My real name is James Robert Laurie. My father is Adrian Robert Laurie. His father was Casper Robert Laurie. The family tree goes back a few generations to where we had Barron's for ancestors. Which is around about the time this was recorded.

[@jeremywhitehorn1228]

@@Spudvivi The really fantastic thing about spelling, punctuation, capitalization (etc) is that it enables us to communicate coherently with other people, using the written word. "Barron's for ancestors" don't mean nu'ting, frankly

[@Spudvivi]

All I can do is apologize to my ancestor, that I cannot continue a legacy such as yours.

God rest your soul, dear Deanna. Thanks for the memories.

Thank-you.

So faultless, so beautiful. Never forgotten Deanna 👏👏👏

you won't hear better than this, its so beautiful.

Although I am not Scottish, I cannot help feeling a Scottish soul in my heart every time on listening to this wonderfully sweet song ❤

I am of Irish decent, and this is beautifully sung by her. I discovered her a few years ago and just loved her singing and she was gorgeous as well.

[@user-dl5kp9iw3d]

@@patriciagarrett4243 The Last Rose of Summer of an Irish folk song is one of my favorite pieces, which inspires me to find a Soothing Rose without a Thorn in my heart despite inhabitting the bleak world confronted with a difficulty.

[@RachellMangosan-mv7dw]

Annie Laurie every one favorite. It was a beautiful poem that turns in to a song beautiful melody.

[@eddie123e]

For a thousand years and more, thanks to digital recording and KZbin this treasure will be with our children's children ad infinitum. We truly live in an age of miracles. All we need now is the miracle of world peace.

[@douglasking2730]

amen brother

[@marisolbalderas9181]

That will never happen because human nature is constant and the causes of war arise from the nature of man. You cannot abolish war without abolishing human nature.

[@helenavondrakenstein4969]

Edward..that is a wonderful sentiment indeed...

[@helenrogers1400]

Edward Carron, Amen.

[@ambrosemclaren145]

Peace can come only through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. God the Father poured out His wrath upon the nations for the rejection of His Divine Son. In a final act of mercy Jesus Christ sent His own beloved Mother to warn the world to turn from sin and bring peace to individuals, families and nations. This hour of mercy was confirmed on October 13, 1917 by a great public miracle witnessed by 70k people and reported in very anti-clerical newspapers and periodicals. This miracle saw the sun detach from the firmament, hurtle towards the earth threateningly. Witnesses believed it was the end of the world. It was not but was a prelude. This merciful loving Mother also was largely ignored. The enemy therefore, has risen to drown the world in hate and strife. My Jesus, mercy!

So very pure magical. Good bye Ms. Edna Mae. You are greatly missed. Your voice is so very beautiful like you. May you R.I.P.

What a truly magnificent soprano voice Deanna Durbin had! Her singing of this old Scottish song moves my heart deeply, for my ancestry is Scottish.

I've heard this song in a Casio keyboard like 15 years ago and it stuck with me. Now I finally found it. It's even more amazing sang

[@seijishino5555]

Tears come.I remembered childhood surrounded by families.This song is never over the expression only with the beauty of the voice.She has a very rich heart and depth of the sensitivity.Therefore her voice and resonance affects the heart of the person to ask.

On November 2 I fell in love with Deanna Durbin,s beautiful singing voice way back in 1980 I was almost 21

[@priscaalmeidacardoso9848]

linda voz

[@greenbookreclaim2471]

I came to this song after findig a book called New National & Folk Song Book, I sung it to myself strait from the book, tipsy and after abondoning any effort to play the tune on my keyboard. I imagined the song to be sung by a gruff and almost viking like tune, as if rowing. But when I looked for the tune on youtube, it was entirly different. Non of the lyrics I sung could be heard in the recording and I felt a calm come over me, it was beautiful. And the book still claimed the same words were from William Douglas.

[@johnward2949]

listening to this reminds me off my mother annie she was Scottish and could hold a tune thank you for my memories J G S W
