Beloved, be faithful, beloved, be true
While I am away, Dear, I'll trust in you 
I'll never forsake you, though we are apart 
Beloved, be faithful to my faithful heart 

There'll be other lips, there'll be other arms 
That will want you for their own 
Tell those other lips, tell those other arms 
That you're mine and mine alone 

Beloved, be faithful, beloved, be true 
Keep watching and waiting, till I'm back with you 

Beloved, be faithful, beloved, be true
While I am away, Dear, I'll trust in you 
I'll never forsake you, though we are apart 
Beloved, be faithful to my faithful heart 

There'll be other lips, there'll be other arms 
That will want you for their own 
Tell those other lips, tell those other arms 
That you're mine and mine alone 

Beloved, be faithful, beloved, be true 
Keep watching and waiting, till I'm back with you 

Beloved, be faithful, beloved, be true 
Keep watching and waiting, till I'm back with you
