| Lyrics: | 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 |
