Faron Young - High Noon Lyrics
(Ned Washington - Dimitri Tiomkin)Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'On this our wedding dayDo not forsake me, oh, my darlin'Wait, wait along.I do not know what fate awaits meI only know I must be braveFor I must face a man who hates meOr lie a coward, a craven cowardOr lie a coward in my grave.Oh, to be torn twixt love and dutySupposin' I lose my fairhaired beautyLook at that big hand move alongNearin' high noon.He made a vow while in state's prisonVowed it would be my life or his'nI'm not afraid of death at all, of what will I doIf 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...
