Lyrics
Do not forsake me oh, my darling
Oh, 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 I a coward a graven coward
Or I a coward in my grave
Or to be torn twist love and duty
Supposing I lose my fair haired beauty
Look at that big hand move along
Weary I knew
He made a vow while in state's prison
Vow 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 darling
You made that promise as a bride
Do not forsake me oh, my darling
Though you're reeling
Don't think of leaving
Now that I need you by my side
Wait along
Wait along
Wait along.
