Do not forsake me, oh my darling

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 man who hates me

Or a liar coward

A grieving coward

Or a liar coward in my grave



Oh to be torn with love and beauty

Supposing I lose my fair haired beauty

Look at the big hand move along

Near in high noon

He may live out while in a state prison

Proud it will be my life for his

I'm not afraid of death at all

What will I do if you leave me



Do not forsake me, oh my darling

You made that promise as a bride

Do not forsake me, oh my darling

Although you're grieving

Don't think of leaving

Now that I need you by my side

Do not forsake me, oh my darling

You made that promise as a bride

Do not forsake me, oh my darling

Although you're grieving

Don't think of leaving

Now that I need you by my side



|: Wait along :| 7x
