High Noon

Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'

On this, our weddin' 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 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 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)
