| lyric | Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
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 manwho hates me.
Or lie a coward a craven coward
or lie a coward in my grave!
Oh, to be torn twist love and duty
’sposin’ I lose my fair haired beauty.
Look at that big hand move along near in’ 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 will I do if you leave me.
Do noit forsake … in my grave.
Wait along walt along walt along wait along! |
