Do not forsake me,
Oh my darlin'
On this, our weddin' day.
Do not forsake me,
Oh my darlin'
Wait,
Wait Along.
The noon day 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.
Oh, to be torn
betwixt love and duty.
Suposin' 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
when we wed.
Do not forsake me,
Oh my darlin'.
Although you're grieving,
I can't be leavin',
until I shoot
Frank Miller dead.
Wait along ¯, wait along v,
Wait along _, wait along ^,
