Lyrics : Nacio Herb Brown
Music : Dimitri Tiomkin
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
