High Noon

Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
On this our weddin' day
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
Wait, wait along
The noonday train will bring Frank Miller
If I'm a man I must be brave
And I must face the deadly killer
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 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 when we wed
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'
Although you're grievin', I can't be leavin'
Until I shoot Frank Miller dead
Wait along, wait along
(Wait along)
Wait along, wait along
(Wait along, wait along, wait along, wait along)
