Lyrics:

  • Well I just got a letter
  • And it’s from Tennessee
  • From my baby Ragtime Annie Lee
  • She said that she missed me
  • And was longing just to kiss me
  • And it made me just as happy as could be
  • So I just bought a ticket
  • And if everything’s right
  • [Andy sings “I got a feeling if things were right”]
  • Me and my guitar will be in Nashville tonight
  • My steel guitar that she loves so well
  • Will be upon my knee and
  • I’ll be playing to my Ragtime Annie Lee
  • And the song I will play [the boys sing, “And the song I will sing…”]
  • Will say I love you
  • And I’ll take her in my arms
  • And tell her all of her charms just like I used to do

  • And maybe I’ll say
  • Will you marry me
  • And if she will be mine
  • Then my guitar will shine
  • For the love of me and Ragtime Annie Lee
  • And the song I will play
  • Will say I love you
  • And I’ll take her in my arms
  • And tell her all of her charms just like I used to do

  • And maybe I’ll say
  • Will you marry me
  • And if she will be mine
  • Then my guitar will shine
  • For the love of me and Ragtime Annie Lee
