For I must face a man who hates me or die a coward

A craven coward or lie a coward in  my grave

Look at that big hand move around

Vowed it would be my life or his'n

What will I do if you leave me

Although you're grievin'

Don't think of leavin'

F          Em   Dm  F  G7 C
Now that I need you by my side
