High Noon (do Not Forsake Me)

Do not forsake me, oh my darling

On this our wedding day

Do not forsake me, oh my darling

Wait, wait along

I do not know what fate awaits me

I only know that 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

Supposing 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 for his'n

I'm not afraid of death but oh

What will I do if you leave me?

Do not forsake me, oh my darling

You made that promise as a bride

Do not forsake me, oh my darling

Although you're grieving

Don't think of leaving

Now that I need you by my side

Do not forsake me, oh my darling

You made that promise as a bride

Do not forsake me, oh my darling

Although you're grieving

Don't think of leaving

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)
