Hank Locklin "High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me)" |
(Ned Washington - Dimitri Tiomkin) 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 And I must face the 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'pposin' I lose my fairhaired beauty Look at that big hand move along Nearing high noon. He made a vow while in state's prison Vowed it would be my life or his'n I'm not afraid at all of What will I do if you leave me. Do not forsake me, oh my darling You made that promise as a bride Do not forsake me, oh my darling Although you're grieving don't think of leaving Now that I need you by my side Wait along, wait along, wait along, wait along...
