(Ned Washington - Dimitri Tiomkin)

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 the 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'pposin' I lose my fairhaired beauty
Look at that big hand move along
Nearing high noon.

He made a vow while in state's prison
Vowed it would be my life or his'n
I'm not afraid at all of
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
Wait along, wait along, wait along, wait along...
This song is from the album "Country Hall of Fame [RCA]".
