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 that deadly killer 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.
