High Noon

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

For 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

Supposin' I lose my fairhaired 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 at all, of 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 grievin', don't think of leavin'

Now that I need you by my side.

Wait along, wait along, wait along, wait along...
