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 that I must be brave And I must face a man who hates me Or lie a coward A craven coward Or lie a coward in my grave Oh, to be torn 'twixt love and duty Supposing I lose my fair-haired beauty Look at that big hand move along Nearin' high noon He made a vow while in state prison Vowed it would be my life for his'n I'm not afraid of death but oh What will I do if you leave me? Do not forsake me, oh my darling You made that promise as a bride Do not forsake me, oh my darling Although you're grieving Don't think of leaving Now that I need you by my side Do not forsake me, oh my darling You made that promise as a bride Do not forsake me, oh my darling Although you're grieving Don't think of leaving Now that I need you by my side Wait along, (wait along) wait along Wait along, wait along (Wait along, wait along, wait along, wait along)
