Do Not Forsake Me I do not know what fate awaits me I only know I must be brave For I must face a man who hates me Or lie a coward, a craving coward Or lie a coward in my grave Oh, to be torn twixt love and duty Supposing 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 or his And I'm not afraid of death at all What shall 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 grieving, don't think of leaving Now that I need you by my side Wait alone, wait alone, wait alone, wait alone
