Do Not Forsake Me

Tex Ritter

Do not forsake me,oh my darling

On this our wedding day

Do not forsake me,oh my darling

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 like a coward, a craven coward

or lie a coward in my grave

Or to be torn between love and duty

Suppose I lose my fair-haired beauty

Look at that big hand

Move along nearing high noon

He made a vow while in state's prison

Vowed it would be my life for his

I'm not afraid of death but

Oh ,what will I do if you leave me

Do not forsake me,oh my darling

You made that promise as a bride

Do not forsake me ,oh my darling

Although you're grievin' , don't think of leaving

Now that I need you by my side

Wait along wait along
