High Noon

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

For I must face a man who hates me

Or die a coward, a craven coward

Or die a coward in my grave

Oh, to be torn twixt love and duty

Supposin' I love my fair haired beauty

Look at that big hand movin' round

Nearin' high noon

He made a vow while in state prison

Said it would be my life or hisn'

I'm not afraid to die but oh

What will I do if you leave me?

Do not forsake me, oh my darling

You make that promise as a bride

Do not forsake me, oh my darling

Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin'

Not while I need you by my side

Wait along, wait along

Wait along, wait along
