Текст песни High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darlin)

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 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 torn 'twixt love and duty s'posin' I lose my fair-haired 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 a 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 grieving don't think of leaving

Now that I need you by my side..
