(Ned Washington and Dmitri Tiomkin)
|
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
|
On this, our weddin' 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
|
For 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 'tweenst love and duty
|
S'posin' I lose my fair-haired beauty
|
Look at that big hand move along
|
Nearin' high noon
|
|
He made a vow while in state prison
|
Vowed it would be my life or his'n
|
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
|
But wait along,(wait along) wait along
|
Wait along
|
(Wait along, wait along, wait along, wait along)
