Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'
On this our wedding 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,
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 would 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.
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin',
On this our wedding day.
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin',
Wait, wait along
