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 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

Supposin' I lose my fair haired beauty

Look at that big hand move along nearing high noon

He made a vow while in state prison

Vowed it would be my life or his

I'm not afraid at all

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

Wait along, wait along, wait along, wait along
