Do not forsake me O my darlin'
On this our wedding day.
Do not forsake me O my darlin'
Wait, wait along. 

The noonday train will bring Frank Miller.
If I'm a man I must be brave
And I must face that deadly killer 
Or lie a coward, a craven coward, 
Or lie a coward in my grave. 

O to be torn 'twixt love and duty!
S'posin' I lose my fair-haired beauty!
Look at that big hand move along

He made a vow while in State's Prison,
Vow'd it would be my life or his and
I'm not afraid of death, but O,
What will I do if you leave me? 

Do not forsake me O my darlin'
You made that promise when we wed.
Do not forsake me O my darlin'
Although you're grievin', I can't be leavin'
Until I shoot Frank Miller dead. 

Wait along, wait along
Wait along
Wait along
