Do not forsake me O my darlin'
on this our wedding day
Do not forsake me O my darlin'
wait, wait along
The noonday train will bring Frank Miller
if I'm a man I must be brave
And I must face a man who hates me
or lie a coward, a craven coward
or lie a coward in my grave
O to be torn 'twixt love and duty
s'posin' I lose my fair-haired beauty
Look at that big hand move along
nearin' high noon
He made a vow while in State's Prison
vow'd it would be my life or his and
i'm not afraid of death, but O
what will I do if you leave me?
Do not forsake me O my darlin'
you made that promise when we wed
Do not forsake me O my darlin'
although you're grievin', I can't be leavin'
until I shoot Frank Miller dead.
Wait along, wait along
Wait along
Wait along
