|
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 'twixt 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) |
