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
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 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's prison
Vowed it would be my life or his'n
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
