This
is
the
story
of
two
men
One,
an
ex-convict
The
other,
a
man
of
honour
The
ex-convict
vowed
while
in
prison
To
kill
the
man
of
honour
"I
can't
be
a
coward"
He
says
to
his
fair-haired
beauty
Do
not
forsake
me,
oh,
my
darlin'
On
this
our
wedding
day
Do
not
forsake
me,
oh,
my
darlin'
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
lie
a
coward,
a
craven
coward
Or
lie
a
coward
in
my
grave
Oh,
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
Vowed
it
would
be
my
life
or
his
'n
I'm
not
afraid
of
death,
but,
oh
What
will
I
do
if
you
leave
me
Do
not
forsake
me,
oh,
my
darlin'
You
made
that
promise
as
a
bride
Do
not
forsake
me,
oh,
my
darlin'
Although
you're
grieving
Don't
think
of
leaving
Now
that
I
need
you
by
my
side
