Branded Wherever I Go Lyrics - Solo: Songs My Dad Loved - Ricky Skaggs

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 

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
