Patsy Cline - I can't forget

In her famous song she sings

I can`t forget you
I`ve got these memories of you
I can`t forget you
I`ll always be loving you
I can`t forget you
Please tell me what must I do


Is the last line correct grammatically?

Why not Please tell me what I must do????

Thank you very much

You are right. It should be Please tell me what I must do. The subject (I) should precede the main verb since this is not a direct question.

Alternate interpretation: The problem is faulty punctuation.

Please tell me. What must I do?
