Jim Ed Brown - High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me) Lyrics

(Ned Washington - Dimitri Tiomkin)

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 (oh, my darling)
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
S'posin' 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'n
I'm not afraid of death but, oh
What will I do if you leave me.

Do not forsake me oh my darlin'(oh, my darling)
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.
Wait along, wait along...
