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 And I must face a man who hates me Or like a coward, a craven coward or lie a coward in my grave Or to be torn between love and duty Suppose 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 for his I'm not afraid of death but Oh ,what will 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 grievin' , don't think of leaving Now that I need you by my side Wait along wait along
