Branded Wherever I Go

Flatt & Scruggs
I recieved the letter you wrote dear
In which you said you'd wait for me
I'm asking you to please not to wait dear
It will only ruin your life I see
[Chorus:]
Now please don't wait for me darling
We could never be happy I know
I'll always be a next convict
And branded wherever I go
[Dobro]
In three years my sentence is over
The gate will swing wide for me
The warden will say I'm a free man
But my name will never be free
[Chorus:]
[Harmonica]
May God bless you for your kindness
You've stuck with me through thick and thin
I love you too much to disgrace you
In closing God bless you again
[Chorus:]
