Gentle Annie (song)
"Gentle Annie" is a popular American song composed by Stephen Foster in 1856. The song has original lyrics but is said to be based on a traditional Irish melody. According to his niece, Evelyn Foster Morneweck, there is a tradition that it was written in honor of Annie Jenkins, the daughter of a grocer in Federal Street, Allegheny, Pennsylvania, named Morgan Jenkins. She disputes this, and states that it is probably written in honor of his cousin, Annie Evans, who died shortly before it was composed.〔(University of Pittsburgh Digital Library )〕 Some sources say it is Foster's farewell to his maternal grandmother, Annie Pratt McGinnis Hart.〔(Broadside ballad entitled 'Gentle Annie' )〕 His paternal grandmother was Ann Barclay.
==Australian version==
An alternative version from Australia is also known as ''Gentle Annie''. This was published in ''Australian Tradition'', Vol. 1, no. e, in 1964. It was recorded by Martyn Wyndham-Read.〔(Martyn Wyndham-Read )〕 The tune is the same as the Stephen Foster version, but the lyrics are different. The Australian lyrics were written by Lame Jack Cousens of Springhurst, Victoria. Sources state that its subject is Annie Waits.
The song "Gentle Annie" sung by Tommy Makem is a different song from both the Foster and the Australian version.
