Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin',
|
On this, our wedding day.
|
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin',
|
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 'twixt love an' duty.
|
S'posin' 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',
|
I'm not afraid of death but, oh, what shall 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.)
