High Noon - Cincinnati Pops Orchestra/Erich Kunzel/Frankie laine
Do not forsake me oh my darlin
On this our wedding day
Do not forsake me oh my darlin
Wait; wait alone
I do not know what fate awaits me
I only know I must be brave
For 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 love an' duty
Sposin' I lose my fair-haired beauty
Look at that big hand move along
Nearing high noon
He made a vow while in states prison
Vowed it would be my life for his an
I'm not afraid of death but oh what shall 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
Wait along
Wait along
