High Noon (do Not Forsake Me)

Faron Young

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 and duty sposin' I lose my fairhaired beauty
Look at that big hand move along nearin' 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 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 alone wait alone wait alone wait alone
