Do Not Forsake Me Lyrics

Do Not Forsake Me lyrics

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 'tweenst 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 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, wait along

(Wait along, ,wait along, wait along, wait along)
