High Noon (do Not Forsake Me) Lyrics

High Noon (do Not Forsake Me) lyrics

Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin',

On this, our wedding day.

Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin',

Wait; wait alone.

I do not know what fate awaits me.

I only know I must be brave.

For 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 an' 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 state prison:

Vowed it would be my life for his an',

I'm not afraid of death but, oh, what shall 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. (Wait along, wait along, wait along, wait along.)
