High Noon 'high Noon' Lyrics - Academy Award Songs, Vols. 1-2 - Frank Chacksfield

Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' 

On this, our weddin' day 

Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' 

Wait, wait along 

I do not know what fate awaits me 

I only know 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 'twixt love and duty 

S'posin' 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 would be my life or his'n 

I'm not afraid of death but oh 

What will 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, wait along)
