VERSE 01: Who could help loving the fields, flower laden,/ Sparkling and bright in the mist of the morn,/ Who could help loving a true hearted maiden,/ Fair as the skies of a day newly born,/ Of all natures wonders, as fair as they are,/ My own gentle Anne, you are fairer by far.
CHORUS: Sweet Anne of Green Gables the angels were wise,/ they sent you to brighten my world weary eyes,/ I've asked them that I might hold you in my arms/ And whisper of all your endearing young charms,/ Yes, I've told this tale often just trying to soften your dear heart so loyal and true,/ I'm not telling fables, Sweet Anne of Green Gables,/ When I tell my love for you.
VERSE 02: Bright are the skies in the moon's silv'ry lustre, Lighting the pools thro' the slow swaying trees,/ Ev'ry wild flower in one fragrant cluster,/ What could be fairer and sweeter than these?/ We've sung of their beauties since time first began,/ But that was before, we saw you, gentle Anne.
