Love Me

I read a note my grandma

Wrote back in 1922

My Grandpa kept it in his coat

And he showed it once to me

Said son you might not understand

But a long long time ago

Your grandma's daddy didn't like me none

But I love your grandma so

We had this crazy plan to meet

And run away together

Get married in the first town

We came to and live forever

Nailed to the tree

Where we were supposed to meet instead

I found this letter

And this is what it said

If you get there before I do

Don't give up on me

I'll meet you when my chores are through

I don't know how long I'll be

But I'm not gonna let you down

Darling wait and see

So between now and then 'til I see you again

I'll be loving you love me

I read those words just hours

Before my grandma past away

In the door way of a church

Where me and grandpa stopped to pray

Although I'd never seen him cry

In all my 15 years

As he said these words to her

His eyes filled up with tears

If you get there before I do

Don't give up on me

I'll meet you when my chores are through

I don't know how long I'll be

But I'm not gonna let you down

Darling wait and see

So between now and then 'til I see you again

I'll be loving you love me

I'll be loving you love me
