High Noon (Do not forsake me)
High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me)
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 the man who hates me
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'n'
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 as a bride
Do not forsake me O my darlin'
Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin'
Now that I need you by my side.
Wait along,
Wait along.
Wait along.
Wait along.
Wait along.
Wait along.
Wait along.
Wait along.
Wait along.
Wait along.
