High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me)
Dimitri Tiomkin, Ned Washington
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 supposin' I lose my fair haired beauty
Look at that big hand move along nearing high noon
He made a vow while in state's prison vowed it would be my life or his
I'm not afraid at all of 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
