Don't Let Me Down
Words & Music by Folky MacFolk Face (2018)
We met by the river near Marshalstown,
Standing there together as the sun went down,
I swore to her, we’d never get turned around.
I was busy making promises I couldn’t keep,
And as the sun disappeared we were on our feet,
Heading for the far side of any other town.
And she said “Love, oh love…”
Don’t let me down, don’t let me down!
I’ve got my feet to the floor,
And I’m heading out of town.
Don’t let me down, don’t let me down.
I've never been this way before,
And I won’t get turned around.
Don’t let me Down.
We headed for the border of Wexford County,
Trying not to think about the landlord’s bounty,
Trying hard to run from all of my mistakes.
I was only trying to feed us and keep her happy,
But it’s hard to live a life when you’ve got no money,
It’s hard to live a life when you just can’t get the breaks.
And she said “Love, oh love…”
Don’t let me down, don’t let me down!
I’ve got my feet to the floor,
And I’m heading out of town.
Don’t let me down, don’t let me down.
I've never been this way before,
And I won’t get turned around.
And I know that we’ve got nowhere left to run to,
But I swear upon the stars that shine above you,
I won’t let you down.
They met us as we crossed the bridge at Gorey,
And that’s where we must leave my story,
It breaks my heart, for the rest to tell.
For they took her from me there on the devil’s highway,
And she looked at me and cried out while they,
Bound my hands, they took my love away.
And she cried “Love, oh love…”
Don’t let me down, don’t let me down!
I’ve got my feet to the floor,
And I’m heading out of town.
Don’t let me down, don’t let me down.
I've never been this way before,
And I won’t get turned around.
Don’t let me Down.
