Whither Thou Goest
Les Paul and Mary Ford
Words and music by Gary Singer
The lyrics to this song were based on the Old Testament story of Naomi and
Ruth, in which Ruth, the daughter-in-law, pledges her fidelity to the
mother of her dead husband
Whither thou goest, I will go
Wherever thou lodgest, I will lodge
Thy people shall be my people, my love
Whither thou goest, I will go
For as in that story long ago,
The same sweet love story now is so
Thy people shall be my people, my love
Whither thou goest I will go
