If You Go I'll Follow You
Dolly Parton · Porter and Dolly (wPorter Wagoner) [RCA Victor] [1980]
You can't leave my love behind
If you go (if you go) I'll follow you
Even death will never end this love of mine.
I have loved you for so long
With a love most true and strong
You have all I may request
And I'll love you good or bad.
Where you go I'll come with you
No matter where you take me to
I'll go to hell and back again
I'll be with you until the end.
If you go, I'll follow you
You can't leave my love behind
If you go (if you go) I'll follow you
Even death will never end this love of mine.
If you go, I'll follow you
You can't leave my love behind
If you go (if you go) I'll follow you
Even death will never end this love of mine...
