Lyrics Jean Shepard

Jean Shepard

I'd Rather Die Young

Please, don't leave me never leave me

I'd rather die young than grow old without you

So don't ever leave me whatever you do

Though others may tempt you and tell you they care

You'll find only sorrow in a secret affair

I'd rather die young than grow old all alone

Please, tell me you love me let me call you my own

To see someone's picture where my picture hung

Believe me my darling I'd rather die young

Don't leave me, never leave me

Please, don't leave me never leave me

I'd rather die young
