High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me) Songtext
von Tex Ritter

Do not forsake me, oh my darlin′
On this our wedding day
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
Wait, wait along

For the noonday train will bring Frank Miller
If I′m a man I must be brave
And I must face the man who hates me
Or lie a coward, a cravin' coward
Or lie a coward in my grave


Oh, to be torn 'twixt love and duty
S′posin′ I lose my fair-eyed beauty
Look at that big hand move along
Nearin' high noon

Where he made a vow while in state′s prison
That it would be my life or his
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 when we wed
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
Although you′re grievin', I won't be leavin′ until I shoot Frank Miller dead

Wait along
Wait along
Wait along
Wait along
