High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me)
Dimitri Tiomkin, Ned Washington
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'n
I'm not afraid of death but
What will I do if you leave me
