Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' On this our wedding day Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' Wait, wait along For the noonday train will bring Frank Miller If I'm a man I must be brave And I must face the man who hates me Or lie a coward, a cravin' coward Or lie a coward in my grave Oh, to be torn 'twixt love and duty S'posin' I lose my fair-eyed beauty Look at that big hand move along Nearin' high noon Where he made a vow while in state's prison That it would be my life or his 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 grievin', I won't be leavin' until I shoot Frank Miller dead Wait along Wait along Wait along Wait along
