Text
Entreat me not to go from you,
Or turn back when I follow you;
Where'er you lodge, there will I lodge;
Where'er you go, there will I go.
Your people shall be my people,
And your God shall be my God too.
Where'er you die, there will I die,
And I'll be buried there with you.
O may the Lord do so to me,
And punish me e'en more also,
If ought but death part you and me,
So with you e'er I pledge to go.
