High Noon Songtext
von Dean Reed

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 the 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
Nearin′ high noon
He made a vow while in state′s prison
'Bout it would be my life or his an′
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′
Although I need you by my side

Wait along, wait along
Wait along, wait along
