Analysis of Let Me God Down to the Sea Again
J. Michael Welborn 1970 (Alabama)
Let me go down to the sea again
For in the sea I find a I find a friend
Let me go down to the sea again
Let my heart begin to mend
Let me go down to the sea again
Let me hear the singing begin
Let me go down to the sea again
And let me go again and again
Let me go down to the sea my love
Let me hear the cry of the gull
Let me feel the hot rough sand
And let me take thy loving hand!
