High Noon

From the Movie "High Noon"

Do not forsake me oh my darlin'
On this our wedding 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 turned 'twixt love and duty
'Sposin' I lose my fair haired beauty
Look at that big hand move along
Near in high noon
He made a vow while in State's prison
Vowed it would be my life or his
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
