lyrics

ANNA LEE

It’s a cold grey morning and I can’t ignore it, I’m blue as I’ve ever been
I’m laying here lonely thinking if only I wouldn’t have done what I did
We had us a home on a slow rolling bayou living and loving so fine
She told me to hold her and always adore her and she would never leave my side

Chorus
Oh Anna Lee, baby come back to me
Oh Anna Lee, baby forgive me
Oh my sweet Anna Lee

All I can hear in my head is the fear in her voice when she called out to me
I woke up in water and grabbed our two daughters and told them all to hang on to me
‘Cause the water was rising and rising and rising through the attic and onto the roof
We swam to the street light together we held tight wasn’t nothing else we could do

I thought that forever that we’d be together but that was just never to be
She cried for her maker to please come and take her but all she had was me
She started screaming and cussing the demon that rained down upon us that day
I tried to hang on but I’m just not that strong, my sweet Anna Lee was washed away
