Do not forsake me oh my darlin apos
On this our wedding day
Do not forsake me oh my darlin apos
Wait wait alone
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 apos twixt love an apos duty
S apos posin apos I lose my fair haired beauty
Look at that big hand move along
Nearing high noon
He made a vow while in states prison
Vowed it would be my life for his an apos
I apos m not afraid of death but oh what shall I do
If you leave me
Do not forsake me oh my darlin apos
You made that promise as a bride
Do not forsake me oh my darlin apos
Although you apos re grievin apos don apos t think of leavin apos
Now that I need you by my side
Wait along Wait along
Wait along
Wait along Wait along wait along wait along wait along
