Dear Anna Lee

Dear Anna Lee I'm setting here tonight
Pouring out my soul with every word I write
I was thinking I may never grow old
A storm is raging and I pray this ship will hold

Dear Anna Lee I know that you will cry
You'll never be any sorrier than I
I was thinking we might marry some day
A storm is raging and I hear the captain pray

Dear Anna Lee I'm afraid that I must go
The rigging is gone and there's water down below
I feel myself slipping over the edge
A storm is calling and I must say good night

Dear Anna Lee I'm setting here tonight
Pouring out my soul with every word I write
I was thinking I may never grow old
A storm is raging and I pray this ship will hold
