Flatt & Scruggs Branded Wherever I Go
Songwriters: Acuff, R;I received 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
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
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
Please don't wait for me, darling [unverified]
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
Now please don't wait for me, darling [unverified]
