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
