Alone in the world was poor little Anne
As sweet a young child as you'd find
Her parents had gone to their final reward
Leavin' their baby behind
Did you hear this poor little child was only nine years of age
When mother and dad went away, still she bravely worked
At the one thing she knew to earn her few pennies a day
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear
She made artificial flowers, you know those artificial flowers
Fashions from Annie's despair
With paper and shears, with some wire and wax
She made up each tulip and mum
As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room
Her baby little fingers grew numb
From makin' artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Made from Annie's despair
They found little Annie all covered with ice
Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears
Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand
And watered with all her young tears
There must be a heaven where little Annie can play
In heavenly gardens and bowers
And instea-a-ad of a halo, she'll wear 'round her head
A garland of genuine flowers
No more artificial flowers, throw away those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of society to wear
Throw away those artificial flowers, those dumb-dumb flowers
Fashioned from Annie's
Fashioned from A-a-a-annie's despair
