I got this off an old Roy Acuff tape.

BRANDED WHEREVER I GO
(songwriter unknown)

Chorus
Please don't wait for me darling
We could never be happy I know
I'll always be an ex convict
And branded where ever I go.

I received the letter you wrote dear
In which you said you'd wait for me
I'm asking you to please not wait dear
It would only ruin your life I see.

repeat chorus

In three years my sentence is over
Them gates will swing wide for me
The Warden will say I'm a free man
But my name will never be free
repeat chorus

May God bless you for your kindness
You stuck with me through thick and thin
I love you too much to disgrace you
In closing God bless you again.

repeat chorus ^^
