HIGH NOON- Tex Ritter


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
                            
For I must face a man who hates me
                       
Or die a coward, a craven coward
             
Or die a coward in my grave

 
Oh, to be torn twixt love and duty

Supposin' I love my fair haired beauty

Look at that big hand movin' round
              
Nearin' high noon
    
He made a vow while in state prison
 
Said it would be my life or hisn'
 
I'm not afraid to die but oh
                        
What will I do if you leave me?

 
Do not forsake me, oh my darling
                             
You make that promise as a bride
                           
Do not forsake me, oh my darling
                                       
Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin'
                  
Not while I need you by my side

                  
Wait along, wait along
                 
Wait along, wait along
