| 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 :| |
