Do not forsake me, oh my darling On this our wedding day Do not forsake me, oh my darling Wait, wait along I do not know what fate awaits me I only know I must be brave For I must face a man who hates me Or die a coward, a craven coward Or die a coward in my grave Oh, to be torn twixt love and duty Supposin' I love my fair haired beauty Look at that big hand movin' round Nearin' high noon He made a vow while in state prison Said it would be my life or hisn' I'm not afraid to die but oh What will I do if you leave me? Do not forsake me, oh my darling You make that promise as a bride Do not forsake me, oh my darling Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin' Not while I need you by my side Wait along, wait along Wait along, wait along
