|
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 |
