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 'twixt Love An' Duty.
S'posin' I Lose My Fair-haired Beauty.
Look At That Big Hand Movin' Along,
Nearing High Noon.

He Made A Vow While In State Prison:
Vowed It Would Be My Life For
His An',
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.
