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 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
I look at that big hand move along
Nearing high noon
He made a vow while in state's prison
Vowed it would be my life or his'n
I'm not afraid of death but oh
What shall 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
Wait along, wait along
Wait along, wait along
(Wait along, wait along
Wait along)
