(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...
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...
