[Verse 1]
Barman says it's time to go on home
See you tomorrow at two
Get your bags I'll walk you to your flat
Annie, what's gonna become of you?

[Verse 2]
Drinking hard and living low
You're breaking my heart in two
Sure as hell you're headed for a fall
Annie, what's gonna become of you?

[Bridge]
Drinking and gamble and hustling for dimes
Throw all your money away
Only think about having good times
Annie, don't you feel it's slipping away?

[Verse 3]
Pretty girl I know in Tennessee
Sweet as a morning dew
Ah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah
Annie, what's gonna become of you?

[Verse 4]
Quit your bars and out of tune pianos
Quit singing your low down blues
And set your mind on the hills of Tennessee
Annie, what's gonna become of you?
