High Noon Lyrics

von Tex Ritter

Original sound track from the movie
HIGH NOON

Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
On this, our weddin' day
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
Wait, wait along

The noon day train will bring Frank Miller
If I'm a man I must be brave
For I must face that deadly killer
Or lie a coward, a craven coward
Or lie a coward in my grave

Oh, to be torn twixt love and duty
Supposin' 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 when we wed
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin'
Until I shoot Frank Miller dead

Wait along, wait along
Wait along, wait along
