"Annie Laurie" (also known as "Maxwelton Braes") is an old Scottish song based on a poem by William Douglas (1672?–1748) of Dumfries and Galloway. William Douglas became a soldier in the Royal Scots and fought in Germany and Spain and rose to the rank of captain. He also fought at least two duels. He returned to his estate at Fingland in 1694. Traditionally, it is said that Douglas had a romance with Anna/Anne Laurie (Born 16 December 1682, Barjarg Tower, in Keir, near Auldgirth, Scotland; Died 5 May 1764, Friars' Carse, Dumfries-shire, Scotland). Anna was the youngest daughter of Robert Laurie, who became first baronet of Maxwellton in 1685. The legend says that her father opposed a marriage. This may have been because Anna was very young; she was only in her mid-teens when her father died. It may also have been because of Douglas's aggressive temperament or more likely because of his Jacobite allegiances. It is known for certain that they knew each because in a letter by Anna she says in reply to news about Douglas, "I trust that he has forsaken his treasonable opinions, and that he is content."

The words were modified and the tune was added by Alicia Scott in 1834. The lovely ballad has been adopted throughout the British Isles and is performed instrumentally here by Irish musician, songwriter and record producer Phil Coulter.
Though the lyrics have been modified many times over 300 years, here are the traditional William Douglas lyrics with a few translations:

Maxwelton braes are bonnie, where early fa's the dew
Where me and Annie Laurie made up the promise true
Made up the promise true, and ne'er forget will I
And for bonnie Annie Laurie I'd lay doun my head and die

She's backit like the peacock, she's breistit like the swan
She's jimp aboot the middle, her waist ye weel may span
Her waist ye weel may span, and she has a rolling eye
And for bonnie Annie Laurie I'd lay doun my head and die.

She's backit means, she's endowed with a back(side).
She's breistit means, she's endowed with a breast.
Jimp means elegant or slender.
Ye weel may span, means that you could encompass her waist with the span of two hands.

Annie Laurie (Maxwelton Braes)
