High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me)

Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'

On this, our wedding day

Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'

Wait, wait along



I do not know what fate awaits me

I only know that 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 'tween love and duty

Supposing 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'd be my life or his

And I'm not afraid of death but

What will I do if you leave me?
