Hank Snow - Love Entered the Cold Iron Door lyrics

They tell me in their letter sweetheart That we can never wed To make you my bride would hurt their pride You must marry an Earl instead. Their riches they say, they never will share With me cause I am poor And that they placed you in a cell Behind a cold iron door. My love for you will never never die My fight I will carry it through It is written where there's a will, there's a way And someday the sky will be blue. I pray to the maker in heaven each night And I know you've been praying for me That he guides every step to the end of the trail Where love meets and sets you free. He tunneled his way through the cold dreary ground Each night he made his way A race against time that soon he must find Before her dark wedding day. At last a faint weary cry he heard His fight for love it was o'er Thank god I reached you my darling tonight I've struck the cold iron door. One mighty blast and behold and at last The big gate swung far aside Imprisoned there like some lonely bird I found my future bride. Refrain: Although they took you away from my arms You've been punished for loving the poor Thank god my love for you at last Has entered the cold iron door.
