High Noon

High Noon 

 

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 'tweenst love and duty

S'posin I lose my fair-haired beauty

Look at that big hand move 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
