DO NOT FORSAKE ME OH MY DARLING

(Avon waiting for Anna.)

Tune: Do not forsakeme oh my darling

by Judith Proctor


Do not forsake me oh my darling,
On this the final day,
Do not forsake me oh my darling,
Wait, wait-a-long.

The bullet hurts, the wound is bleeding,
If I'm a man I must be brave,
I must keep going 'till I find you,
Or lie a coward, a lonely coward, or lie a coward in my grave.

Oh to be torn twixt love and livin',
Supposin' we both end up in prison?
Look at the time move quickly on,
Here in this dome.

I made a vow when first I met you,
That I would love and not forget you,
I'm not afraid of death alone,
What will I do if you leave me?

Do not forsake me oh my darling,
You made that promise when we met,
Do not forsake me oh my darling,
Although you're griev'n,
I can't be leavin',
For I know I'm nearly dead.

Wait-a-long,
Wait-a-long,
Wait-a-long,
Wait-a-long,
