Tex Ritter – High Noon lyrics
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
For I must face a man who hates me
Or die a coward, a craven coward
Or die a coward in my grave

Oh, to be torn twixt love and duty
Supposin' I love my fair haired beauty
Look at that big hand movin' round
Nearin' high noon
He made a vow while in state prison
Said it would be my life or hisn'
I'm not afraid to die but oh
What will I do if you leave me?

Do not forsake me, oh my darling
You make that promise as a bride
Do not forsake me, oh my darling
Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin'
Not while I need you by my side

Wait along, wait along
Wait along, wait along

    Do not forsake oh my darling
    on this our wedding day
    do not forsake oh my darling
    wait wait along

    At noon the train will bring Frank Miller
    if I'm a man I must be brave
    and I must face those deadly killers
    or lie a coward
    a craven coward
    or lie a coward in my grave

    Oh to be torn twixt love and duty
    suppose I might lose my fair hair 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'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 a promise when we wed
    do not forsake oh my darling
    although you're grieving
    I can't be living
    until I shoot Frank Miller dead

    Wait along
    wait along
    wait along
    wait along
