2:24Oh, to be torn twixt love and duty S'posin' I lose my fairhaired beauty Look at that big hand move along Nearing high noon We made a vow while in state's prison Vowed it would be my life for 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' 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 I must be brave And I must face the man who hates me Or lie a coward, a craven coward Or lie a coward in my grave 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
