Faron Young - High Noon (do Not Forsake Me) lyrics

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
