High Noon (A/K/A Do Not Forsake Me)

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

Oh, the noonday train will bring Frank Miller
If I'm a man 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 torn twixt a love and duty
S'posin' I lose my fair-haired 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 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', I won't be leavin'
Until I shoot Frank Miller dead

Wait along, wait along
Wait along, wait along
