I'D DIE FOR YOU

 

Oh  darlin' you're the sweetest thing

One day I'm gonna buy you a ring

I don't care if you're daddy don't like me

I'm gonna make you mine

​

Meet me at that old red barn

out on old man Willy's farm

Wear that dress you know I love

I'm gonna make you mine

​

We'll talk for hours about all our plans

A house and a baby and an apple stand

I'll kiss your lips as the sun goes down

I'm gonna make you mine

​

I know you're daddy hates me

My daddy hates him too

But there's one thing I'd die for

I'd die for you

​

Oh darlin' I know it's sad

you're the best thing I've ever had

We'll have to hide so we don't get caught

So let's run away

 

It's 10 miles to the nearest town

we could take the rails Tulsa bound

We'll have to pack light and leave at dusk

Let's run away

​

Don't tell mama she'll start to cry

we'll send her a letter once we're doing just fine

Tell your brothers that you love em so

Let's run away

​

I know you're daddy hates me

My daddy hates him too

But there's one thing I'd die for

I'd die for you

​

We were almost there, 2 miles to go

we heard a sound it was a mighty blow

We heard screamin' in the distance woods

So I kept you safe

​

We kept on runnin', holding' hands

We cut through the forest and the rugged lands

We held our breathe and we said our prayers

Lord keep us safe.

​

Then we heard footsteps getting near

all we could feel was a whole lot of fear

Soon your dad put a gun to my head and he shot me dead

​

I know you're daddy hates me

My daddy hates him too

But there's one thing I'd die for

I'd die for you
