High Noon

High noon.



Do not forsake me oh my darling

On this our wedding day

Do not forsake me oh my darling

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

S'posin I lose my fair haired beauty

Look at that big hand move along

Nearing high noon



He made a vow while in states 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 darling

You made that promise as a bride

Do not forsake me oh my darling

Although you're grieving

Don't think of leaving

Now that I need you by my side



Wait along, wait along, wait along, wait along
