Dear Anna,

Dear Anna
I write to you today
For fear that I may fall away

'Twas but a glimpse we saw
In the rising sun
And Napoleon's colours colour the horizon

Dear Anna
I'd make a bride of thee
But King George decided my wife be the sea

He made ocean my home
'Neath my head where I lay
So shall it too become my grave

And all my comrades
We laid in the waves
Fell hoping we'd all come home someday

As I travelled the world
Lonely for you
Worry not, my love, I've always stayed true

And you, my dear
Should not be alone
Marry a man who will love you and give you a home

I pray blessings and joy
Find their way to thee
And many daughters and sons perhaps name one for me

Dear Anna
The cannons begin

Dear Anna
The cannons begin

Dear Anna
The cannons begin

Dear Anna
The cannons begin

Dear Anna
At the end of the night
Know it is for you, not England, I fight
