Promise me you’ll always be my love You won’t tear me down when my bones grow cold With our hands in the dirt years down the road I’ll lie with you, won’t you lie with me, my love Don’t let me go, don’t let me go, my love
Don’t let me drown ‘Cause it’s a long, long way to go, my friend And all of my pain will try to weigh me down In the end, end, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh End, end, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
So please carry me when I’m weary And I will tend to you when you are tired Because you’re bound to me And I am bound to you
And promise me you’ll always be my love You won’t tear me down when my bones grow cold With our hands in the dirt years down the road I’ll lie with you, won’t you lie with me, my love Don’t let me go, don’t let me go, my love
Soon when we rise To the pearl gates, waiting hand in hand In Saint Peter’s eyes Ask us: are we ready to go?
Go, go, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Go, go, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Promise me you’ll always be my love You won’t tear me down when my bones grow cold With our hands in the dirt years down the road I’ll lie with you, won’t you lie with me, my love Don’t let me go, don’t let me go, my love
