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
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...
