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
