High Noon

Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'
On this our weddin' 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

S'posin' I ever should discover
That I have lost my handsome lover
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 for 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'
My love for you is true and tried
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
Wait along
Wait along
