Thread Name: Lyr Req: Love Entered the Iron Door (Hank Snow)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Love Entered The Iron Door'
I have missed a few lines at the start. Here is what I have. As sung by HANK SNOW:

...me because I am poor,
And let me place you in a cell,
Behind the cold iron door.

My love for you will never never die,
My flight/fight, I will carry it through,
It is written that where there's a will there's a way,
And some day the sky will be blue,
I prayed to the maker in heaven tonight,
And I know you've been praying for me,
He guides every step to the end of the trail,
Where love meets and I set you free.

He tunneled his way 'neath the cold dreary ground,
Each night he made his way,
A race against time, that door he must find,
Before her dark wedding day,
At last a faint weary cry he heard,
His fight for love, it was o'er,
Thank God I have reached you my darling tonight,
I crossed the cold iron door.

One mighty blast, and behold, and at last
The big gate swung far aside,
Imprisoned there like some lonely bird,
I found my future bride,
Although they took you away from my arms,
You've been punished for loving the poor,
Thank God, my love, for you at last,
Has entered the cold iron door.
