lirik lagu the beautiful south - artificial flowers
(harnick/bock)
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
leaving 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 a few pennies a day
she made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
flowers for ladies of fashion to wear
she made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
fashioned from annie’s despair
with papers and shears, with wire and wax
she made up each tulip and mum
as snow flakes drifted in to her tenement room
her baby little fingers grew numb
>from artificial flowers, those artificial flowers
flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear
she made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
made from annie’s despair
and they found little annie all covered in ice
still clutching 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 instead of halo, she’ll wear round her head
a garland of genuine flowers
no more artificial flowers, artificial flowers
flowers for ladies of society to wear
those artificial flowers, artificial flowers
fashioned from annie’s
fashioned from annie’s despair
