Do not forsake me, oh my darlin\'
On this, our weddin\' day
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin\'
Wait, wait along
I do not know what fate awaits me
I only know 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 \'tweenst love and duty
S\'posin\' 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 or his\'n
I\'m not afraid of death but oh
What will I do if you leave me?
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin\'
You made that promise as a bride
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin\'
Although you\'re grievin\', don\'t think of leavin\'
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)
