High Noon

Lyrics

[Chorus] Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin' On this, our wedding day Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin' Wait! Wait along [Verse] 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 lie a coward, a craven coward Or lie a coward in my grave [Bridge Part 1] Oh, to be torn 'twixt love an' duty S'posin' I lose my fair-haired beauty Look at that big hand move along Nearing high noon [Bridge Part 2] He made a vow while in state prison Vowed it would be my life for his an' I'm not afraid of death, but oh What shall I do if you leave me? [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Wait along (wait along) Wait along Wait along (Wait along, wait along) (Wait along, wait along) (Wait along, wait along) (Wait along)
