High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me) Songtext
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 movin′ 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
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 movin′ 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
