Do not forsake me oh my darlin'

On this our wedding day

Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'

Wait, wait along



I do not know what fate awaits me

I only know that 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 'tween love and duty

Supposing 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'd be my life or his'n

I'm not afraid of death but 

What will I do if you leave me...
